Recently I attended a fund raising event and my emotions were completely taken over by the efforts of the staff and their commitment to making a difference in the community for people with disabilities. Seeing the direct impact by these committed individuals, but also working as a team to make a great impact on the people and their lives was just amazing to see. it is simply extraordinary the favorable impact they have on people with disabilities.

Seeing this firsthand was critical. It afforded me the opportunity to try and assist in a way other than just giving a cash donation. I worked with two of the Countryside Association employees to find a suitable situation for one of their clients. The process has been rewarding as I witnessed how passionate the team really is and what it means to be truly committed to your life's work.

We are very excited about our new hire that Countryside Association has found us. Countryside has "all-in" employees that redefine what it really means to give back to their community. Countryside is deserving of recognition for what they are doing for people with disabilities. They are simply an outstanding organization making a "real" difference for people with disabilities.
