Why Donate a Sensory Toy at the Giving Machine?

For individuals with developmental disabilities, sensory toys are more than just fun—they’re life-changing tools. They help build essential skills, provide comfort, and create opportunities for learning and growth. What may feel like a small gift to you can make a world of difference to someone who needs it most.

Your donation can bring joy, empowerment, hope, and LIGHT. Give the gift of possibility today! Help us Light the World this Holiday Season!

Dear LIFE Families, Friends and Team Members,

It's that time of year. The Holidays are coming, and with that, we begin planning this year's Christmas Festival.

I am so excited to share that we are working with AZ Jolly Jumper this year. We have obtained Festival Games with prizes, obstacle courses, slides, and other activities. These
activities are meant to be for all ages, and we encourage all our adult and child members to join us!

This is in addition to our traditional experiences: Santa, Family Photo Booth, Christmas Store, Santa Letters, Food Trucks available at your expense, Cocoa and Cookies provided,
and so much more!

This year we will have our special Christmas Hayride with a new visual experience, Face Painting, Balloon Art, Orchestra playing Holiday Music and a special opportunity to visit
Whoville and the Grinch!

I am attaching this year's Flyer and our Flyer for the Toy Drive. This year, we are asking for $10 gift cards to Barnes and Noble or Bookmans in support of our year of reading.
Please see the flyer for instructions on this. Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated.

In addition, given how much excitement there was for the Christmas Boutique, L.I.F.E. has rented out the Venue next door, Shenandoah Mills. There is no cost to our team, family,
or friends. If you wish a table to be reserved for you, please email me directly. We will be posting on Social Media to bring attention to the great event!

We are working hard to make this event Bigger and Better than ever before!

I am so excited to see you all out there! Sending Love and Blessings!
