Able To Serve Awards Mentioned in PNN Article

PNNOnline, a nonprofit news and information resource, has an article entitled "Clay Aiken Able-To-Serve Grant Funding Available Now". The Bubel Aiken Foundation and Youth Service America will give grants of up to $1,000 "to support youth-led service projects in which youth with and without disabilities serve their communities together."

The article gives a good summary of BAF's purpose:

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation provides services and financial assistance to promote the full integration of children with disabilities into the life environment of those without. The Foundation strives to create awareness about the diversity of individuals with disabilities and the possibilities that inclusion can bring. To learn more about The Bubel/Aiken Foundation or ways to get involved visit their Web site.

You can also download applications and grant guides at the Youth Service America website.

This is one of the great ways that the money we donate to BAF is used to help children with disabilities. Don't forget some of the ways we can continue to donate: Penny Lane, Goodsearch, printer cartridge fundraiser, buying from the BAF Store, join Beta Alpha, or get involved with Wrapping For Inclusion.
