Programming highlights and accomplishments of CORSE 2006- 2016 Thanks to you!:
CORSE started with a vision of 2 people, Marynell Henry and Tracy Johnston in January 2006, was incorporated as a non-profit on February 14, 2006 and has now grown to a board of 15 and a member constituency of over 3,000 participants - ALL volunteers, representing parents of children with special needs, parents who have all typically developing children, educators and community members- interested in supporting the Foundation’s efforts to provide the highest quality educational, social and recreational community experiences so children with special needs can participate alongside their friends and neighbors to reach their full potential.
Ten years of successful programming and community integration have been accomplished, thanks to all those who supported over the decade. Because of our generous community, CORSE is able to continue providing high quality programs for ALL children in the community, regardless of need. We are a model other communities across the state admire and recognize. This foundation has increased understanding of friends’ and neighbors’ challenges of raising children with special needs and brought down many barriers. Our community has grown tremendously closer. Thank you for embracing CORSE, and we are forever grateful and appreciative of the kindness, compassion and character of the people within our community. The success of CORSE is a reflection of your support, so these accomplishments are shared with you all.
