Traditional 5th Year Anniversary Gift

Anniversaries carry their own special symbol. 

Wood is durable and long-lasting, symbolizing strength. Our community is strong, just like wood. Together, we can eradicate the labels and stereotypes that taunt individuals with disabilities and bridge the gap between populations that often walk in the path of strangers. 

Let's instead walk in the path of friendship. 

Here's our gift to you. 

By taking the $5 for 5 Months with 5 Friends Challenge, receive this precious wooden blossom kit constructed from natural pine wood. The wood symbolizes strength, the blossom symbolizes growth. Together we can continue to grow toward a path of true inclusion.
