What's Pickleball?

 

As a member of The Victory Center Board of Directors, I am proud to virtually play in the Pickleball Tournament for The Victory Center to celebrate National Pickleball Month and Autism Awareness Month during April.

The Victory Center School is combining the two national month-long celebrations to benefit students at The Victory Center!

Help us “win” the Tournament by raising the most money to support The Victory Center. I’ll be playing on the team of What's Pickleball? a team you can count on for the win!

The Pickleball Tournament will assist The Victory Center in raising money to support students who have autism and need an individualized education program that may not be available in other schools. We need and appreciate your help to continue offering these high-touch, high-value programs for the children and their families.

Every $1 you donate moves What's Pickleball? one stride closer to the Winners Circle! It’s all in fun while supporting a great cause for The Victory Center to raise money to educate and support children who are affected by autism.  

Please help What's Pickleball? win the trophy with your donation today, no matter how large or small. Our team is looking forward to claiming the Pickleball Tournament trophy with your support!

What Does the Winner Receive?

The winning team will claim the official Pickleball Tournament trophy, be photographed virtually with their team, and be announced in an email and on The Victory Center’s website and social media.

Players are warming up! So, get ready to send your donation and keep checking back on the leader board to see how your team is doing. Play time starts at 10:00 a.m. ET on Monday, April 3rd and the Tournament will end on Sunday, April 30th at 7:00 p.m. ET. Announcements will be shared weekly via an email to The Victory Center constituents.

Why is The Victory Center Raising Money?

While the cost of our tuition reflects the personalized program for each student, unfortunately it cannot cover all that it takes to educate our precious children.

Over half of The Victory Center families receive financial assistance. It is amazing how our generous donors cover 33% of the tuition costs for these families. We see how much it warms the donors’ hearts to nurture these well-deserving students and their families.

You may have heard a lot about autism lately including even television shows depicting people with autism. Why now?

Because 1 in every 44 children is diagnosed with autism!

It causes difficulty in communication and relationship-building, which can lead to poor academic outcomes, social struggles, family stress, and unemployment. Most children with autism and their families do not have access to tailored, research-based programs that address these issues.

The Victory Center for Autism and Related Disabilities is changing that with intensive education based upon the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The student to teacher ratios are: 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 which is unique for educational institutions.
