Giving Tuesday is today, December 2! ✨💙
Today, help us replace 8 worn and outdated doors on our Phoenix campus with secure, beautiful, accessible entryways. 🚪💛 Over the years, we’ve updated half of our campus doors & we need your help to finish the job! Because for our Members, a door isn’t just a door; it's the beginning of someone’s day...an invitation into meaningful programs, independence, friendships, skill-building, and personal growth. 💔➡️💪

This season, help us open new doors - literally and figuratively - for people with intellectual & developmental disabilities in our communities! 💙✨

She's been asking for years...today, YOU can say yes! ✔️
When our CEO Kelli first joined The Opportunity Tree, one of the first Members she met was Denise, a longtime Member who’s been with us since she was a young woman.

After a warm hello, Denise looked Kelli straight in the eye and asked,
“So… when are you gonna do something about these doors?” and swept her hand across the campus, pointing to every single one.

For Denise, now in her 60s, and part of our Supported Aging program, the old wood doors are daily barriers to comfort, dignity, and independence. This Giving Tuesday, help us replace 8 worn and outdated doors on our Phoenix campus with secure, ADA-accessible glass entryways.

🎯 Our goal is $30,728
🚪 One new door costs $3,841
💚 Every dollar brings us closer
📢 Sponsorship of one full door comes with YOUR naming rights!

👉 Donate now and help Denise and every Member walk through a better, safer, more inclusive door: https://theopportunitytree.org/giving-tuesday-2025/

Denise always asks: “How are those doors coming along?” With YOUR help, we now have an answer!

Open up 🚪🔑
Giving Tuesday - a global day of generosity where people around the world come together to support causes that matter - is Tuesday, December 2nd! This year, we’re opening doors. Literally.

Join us this Giving Tuesday to help replace 8 aged and inaccessible doors at our Phoenix campus with safe, beautiful, ADA-accessible entryways. Early donations are already being counted toward our goal, and every gift brings us one step closer to opening doors for our Members.

Why does this matter? We’ll let our CEO, Kelli, explain:
“For many people, a door is just a door. But for our Members, safe and accessible doors provide security, privacy, dignity, and independence. Many of our current doors are aging. Some no longer close properly; some are heavy and difficult to open, and others simply don’t meet today’s accessibility and safety standards. Replacing them isn’t glamorous—but it is absolutely necessary. This Giving Tuesday, your support will help us install new, fully accessible, secure doors across campus leading to greater safety, autonomy, and opportunity for everyone we support. Thank you for believing in our mission of providing quality, individualized supports to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in dynamic and innovative environments, and for standing with us today and every day.”

Help us open the doors to opportunity, inclusion, and daily independence. theopportunitytree.org/giving-tuesday-2025/ 🌳💫

Tree Fort rules! 🌳🎒
The Tree Fort is our after-school program for teens still in school, and across all of our campuses, our Tree Forters are busy this Fall making the most of afternoon adventures. 🍂

Picking through pumpkin patches, romping down hay slides, creating customized gear, and setting up for the Holidays are just a few examples of the Tree Fort's daily dynamic & innovative environments. ❇️

This is also more than just an after-school program; our Tree Fort doubles as a transition program to help our teens start thinking about life after school, learn and explore new talents and interests, and jump directly into our adult programming the day after graduation. It’s also where imagination, friendship, and new experiences come together every single afternoon 🤝. Big thanks to our youth Members & staff who make it all happen! 💛
