          Stunning Quilt Donated by Felicia Horowitz   

Bid Now to Support Via Services   


The Via Ball, which will be held on February 8th at Villa Ragusa, is only one week away! All proceeds from the Via Ball benefit Via Services' two main programs - Via West Campus offers year-round day and residential programs for adults and children with disabilities, ages 5 and older and Via's First Step Early Intervention provides therapy, screening and monitoring services for children who are diagnosed with developmental delays and those who are at risk for developing delays from birth through 8 years of age.   
 

 

 Quilt by artist Felicia Horowitz

 

This stunning Quilt by artist Felicia Horowitz is a reproduction of the Woman with The Hat by Matisse. It took over 3 years to delicately fuse together over 2,000 small squares and strips of fabric. Felicia Horowitz has graciously donated it for auction at the 18th Annual Via Ball.  

 

In creating this labor of love, Felicia hopes to bring awareness and to create opportunities for children with disabilities to be an integral part of the fabric of our society. Whoever acquires this art gem will ensure that the fabric of their own future will be graced with visual pleasure forever. The Quilt is 52x38". Please click here to learn how you can pre-bid on this item before the Via Ball.

 

On behalf of the Via Services Board of Directors, staff and the families we serve, please accept our sincerest thank you for your support!

The Sharks Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of youth and family in the community,  announced that Via Services is one of the 17 non-profit organizations selected as a 2013 Grant Recipient. Via Services will be recognized at an on-ice ceremony during the Sharks game on February 9th at the HP Pavilion.

  

 

 

The Sharks Foundation grant will be used to help fund Via Services' Health and Life Skills program at Via West, which is designed to maximize the positive impact on the lives of children and youth with special needs by addressing the physical, mental and emotional well-being of clients.
