We are grateful to Cindy and Mike for giving us this opportunity to share with you our experiences in working with the special needs population. We are also excited about the community of vendors and supporters who are participating in our silent auction to help us raise money for research and services.

There are many ways you can help: you can visit the Hands on Trade table and participate in our silent auction; you can donate cash, checks, or credit cards at the Upledger Foundation table; or you can donate for 'free' bodywork sessions at some of our vendors. Silent Auction winners will be announced on May 8 at 12:30 pm.
