Help Plant a Strong Foundation for Pine Castle
Support Participants Like Emily and Sarah!
At Pine Castle, we believe every person deserves the chance to live a meaningful, joyful life. For families of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), that dream often comes with unique challenges, and the search for a place where their loved ones are understood, supported, and celebrated.
For Emily and Sarah, twin sisters living with intellectual and developmental differences, Pine Castle has been that place. From the moment they arrived, they found care, encouragement, and opportunity. Though they are on the Life Enrichment pathway, they proudly call Pine Castle their “work.” It gives them purpose and joy as they help in the garden, walk the track, assist fellow participants, and support their Direct Support Professionals.
Their dad, David, shares: “Being a parent of individuals with IDD can be challenging, but seeing the joy and smiles on their faces when they arrive on campus reassures me every day that we made the right choice.”
Stories like Emily and Sarah’s are why Pine Castle exists — and why we are inviting you to be part of something transformational. This year, in place of our traditional year-end appeal, we are launching a bold new campaign: Pillars of Prosperity. With a goal of $1,420,000 million dollars, this campaign will strengthen Pine Castle’s financial foundation and build our resilience for the future through two critical pillars:
Stabilization – enhancing working capital so services remain strong in uncertain times
Sustainability – expanding our long-term reserves fund to safeguard the future
Now, it’s your turn.
Families like David’s rely on the security of knowing that Pine Castle will continue to be a safe haven for adults with differences for generations to come. Your gift today will not only provide joy and opportunities for Emily, Sarah, and their friends this holiday season, but it will also help secure Pine Castle’s future.
Your support through this campaign can be made one-time or recurring. It may also be made as a pledge over time. An IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution [QCD], donation from your Donor Advised Fund [DAF], or gift of appreciated securities are also smart ways for you to give, and our team is here to help find what type of gift works best for you!
Together, we can stabilize today and secure tomorrow for the adults and families who rely on Pine Castle every day. Your generosity can create a legacy that ensures Emily, Sarah, and countless others have a safe, joyful, and dignified place to learn, grow, and contribute.
P.S. Every gift matters! Whether you give $50, $500, or $5,000, your generosity this year-end will help us build the foundation for Pine Castle’s future. And – please remember Pine Castle in your will or trust!
With gratitude,
Anthony Sutton, CFRE
