Therapy Swing Fundraiser

So, a couple of weeks ago my family (Competitive Fred) held our annual charity fundraiser. The back story on this is that my family participates each year in some sort of charity fundraiser and each year a different person picks the charity and organizes the events. This year it was my turn and I chose to raise money for NB elementary to help them buy a therapy swing for the Early Childhood Development and cognitively impair students to use. The fundraiser was a success and we have raised almost $800 so far and I will be meeting with a couple of local civic groups to ask for their support as well. So hopefully we will be able to raise the total amount needed to get the swing system.

So I met with the teacher during Memphis's IEP and we got to tour the room were the therapy swing will be located and after she explained what she had in mind and what the general needs of most of the students are, I realized that what she really needed was a swing that could do more than just be a swing. So did some research and found the Class Champs Indoor Gym. You can use it with several forward/backward attachments and even add a climbing wall, or you can take all the other swing attachments off and use it with one single 360 degree swing. The swing costs around $1600 and it is $600 for delivery. Either way, if we raise it all or just some of it, the school will be that much closer to getting a therapy swing and Memphis will be using it next year when he goes to school.
