What Is Angels With Special Needs?

Angels With Special Needs (AWSN) non-profit organization is dedicated to enriching and improving the lives of severely disabled youth and young adults by raising funds to provide opportunities of inclusion to recreational and socialization activities free of charges to their families who can not afford to provide these items for their disabled family member(s).

How Does Angels With Special Needs Raise Funds?

Fundraisers are conducted year-round, media partners and corporate volunteers working together to ensure inclusion not exclusion for severely disabled in their communities. In addition an annual fundraiser, we sell items via our  online store, and interested college students hold different events like dance marathons, and craft shows-just to name a few of the different activities that are used to bring funds in each year.  The funds in turn are used to provide opportunities of inclusion to recreational activities for disabled youth/young adults.
