At the Elaine Clark Center, love isn’t just a theme — it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. From our inclusive classrooms to our therapy‑integrated programs and family partnerships, every moment is shaped by care, consistency, and community. That’s why 14 Days of ECC Love is so special: it’s a celebration of what we can build together.

1️⃣ You’re Investing in Real Impact

When you support the Elaine Clark Center, you are helping children and young adults with developmental disabilities learn, grow, and thrive. Every dollar directly supports small class sizes, individualized instruction, and on‑site therapies. Your impact isn’t symbolic — it’s tangible, immediate, and deeply meaningful.

2️⃣ You Strengthen Families

ECC isn’t just a program — it’s a community. When you participate in 14 Days of ECC Love, you’re standing beside the parents, grandparents, caregivers, and siblings who trust us with their most important people. Your support creates stability, encouragement, and hope for entire families.

3️⃣ You Help Keep Tuition Accessible

High‑quality, inclusive care takes resources — especially when classrooms are intentionally small to meet each learner’s needs. Your generosity helps close the gap between the true cost of care and what families can afford. Together, we keep ECC’s mission sustainable and accessible.

4️⃣ You Celebrate Inclusion in Action

Inclusion isn’t just something we talk about — it’s what ECC lives out every day. From our early childhood programs to Heart of Hope Academy, ECC Life, Summer Camp, and Hustle for Hope, you’ll find children and young adults of all abilities learning, laughing, and leading together. Your participation publicly affirms that every child deserves to be welcomed and celebrated.

5️⃣ You Get to Be Part of Something Bigger

14 Days of ECC Love is more than a fundraiser — it’s a testament to the strength of this community. When you give, register, or share our message, you become part of a story rooted in compassion, advocacy, and possibility. This is what showing up looks like.

💙 Join us with a $30 donation or by registering as a Hustle for Hope athlete — and help us keep the love going strong.

Because care, consistency, and community only work when we build them together.
