An evening with purpose.

Let's come together for an extraordinary evening of art, music, delectable cuisine, and a shared commitment to a brighter future. "Design For A Cause" is a benefit event dedicated to raising funds to provide scholarships for The Children's Therapy Spot, a specialized multidisciplinary clinic offering speech, occupational, and physical therapy. These services allow children with a wide variety of diagnoses to achieve their fullest potential at home and in school.

The Cause

A gathering that gives back.

The Children's Therapy Spot is a group of clinicians dedicated to providing innovative and compassionate evaluations and treatment in the fields of Speech-Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy. They strive to interact and stimulate their clients in a dynamic and multi-dimensional manner through fun and functional experiences, as they become the best communicators they can be, while both enjoying and understanding their world.

Unfortunately, for children lacking insurance coverage or facing restrictions on covered services, the financial burden can be significant. The typical expense for one therapeutic discipline, administered once a week, can amount to approximately $5,000 annually. If a child requires multiple disciplines, the annual cost may reach $10,000. In cases involving children with Autism, the expenditure could soar to $20,000 minimum.

Even when insurance partially covers therapy expenses, families often face substantial out-of-pocket costs, which can accumulate to several thousand dollars per child each year. By attending this event and contributing to the fund, you are helping to provide access to essential therapy services for these children, ensuring they have every chance to flourish.
