Dear Friends:

We are honored to serve as Honorary Chairs for The Dake Foundation for Children's 12th Annual Child’s Play fundraiser. Since the first Child's Play event 12 years ago, the Foundation’s mission has never wavered: to provide children with disabilities the tools they need to become as independent as possible. Gaining independence for children with disabilities requires specialized therapy and - adaptive equipment, which is often not covered by health insurance. Wheelchairs, adaptive strollers, and adaptive tricycles all help kids play outside and socialize with their friends and families. This year’s event will allow us to continue to give all children, regardless of their abilities, the opportunity to participate to the fullest with their peers and in their community.

This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, June 1st, 2022, at Saratoga National Golf Club in Saratoga Springs. Our theme, Tailgate With Purpose, promises to deliver one of our most fun and memorable events yet! The committee is busy at work planning a night filled with laughter, dancing, fine food, with lots of surprises in store. The pandemic has taken its toll on the most vulnerable in our community. Our family has been avid supporters of the Foundation, and we need your help. Please consider joining us as a sponsor this year. Your donation will help to improve the quality of life for these incredible children and their families. Last year alone, the Dake Foundation for Children provided more than $100,000 in adaptive equipment and grants to local children.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and friendship. We cannot wait to thank you in person on June 1st!

Sincerely,

Jeff and Kara Haraden
