Thanks to generous donations from Clay's fans, 78 tickets were provided to three organizations.
Best Buddies sent 38 buddies from their high school program to Clay's concert at the Indiana State Fair.
Damar Services Inc. was provided with 29 tickets. Damar provides services to children and adults with developmental disabilities through residential programs and support services. Their philosophy: "Valuing Dreams, Encouraging Success"
Bradford Group Home was provided with 11 tickets for 8 residents and 3 staff members. They plan to send us pictures - and we want to share an email from their residential manager that was received the morning of the concert:
I cannot wait for all of you to see the joy on these girls faces when they find out that they are going. It is a surprise. They know they are going to the fair, but as of now they still do not know that they are going to see Clay. This is going to knock their socks off.
We received the following letter from Damar Services...
Thank you for your donation of Clay Aiken tickets to Damar Services. Your gift enables us to make strides toward fulfilling our mission of promoting the greatest independence for children and adults with developmental disabilities.
With your assistance, Damar values dreams and encourages success for the children, adults and families we are privileged to serve. Thank you for your generous gift.
