PROJECT INDEPENDENCE--JOIN THE CLUB!   

 

Belonging to a club is a great way to join with others and demonstrate your common interest in a particular project, hobby or topic.  And that's certainly true of Project Independence's Club Independence! 

 

Formed in 2010, members of Club Independence support Project Independence with an unrestricted gift of $100, $250 or $500 each year.  Members receive a variety of benefits, including recognition on PI's Web site, a thank-you reception, and more.   

 

There are currently 41 members of the Club--family members, friends, community members, PI employees and other donors who fully support Project Independence and its mission of enriching the lives of people with developmental disabilities.    

 

It's easy to join the Club--all the information you need is on our Web site.  Simply click here to learn more.      

 

Making a gift to PI is a wise investment.   Consider partnering with us today!
