Eli finds friendship, love and acceptance each time he steps into the Friendship Circle. There, his individual interests have always been encouraged and nurtured, like his love of Disney, cars, and cookies! Whether it be for weekly Hebrew school classes which prepared him for a special Bar Mitzvah, family programming or summer camp, he shines with the warmth that envelopes him there. Our family has fewer concerns about Eli gaining meaningful friendships and experiences because of this magical place. And, we too have all made deep and lifelong bonds with other families navigating the world with a child who has special needs.

Each year we ask you to join us at the Walk 4 Friendship because we are so excited to share this incredible organization with you. We want you to see it firsthand and join Team bELIevers! This year, please mark your calendar for August 28th (Jessica's birthday)! We need you to help us honor and celebrate the important work that the Friendship Circle does for our family, our community... and the world!!

With love, gratitude and friendship,

Eli and the Menuck family
