PHILLIPS Wild West

ave the Date! PHILLIPS will host our annual gala on Saturday, May 12, 2012. PHILLIPS annual gala is an exciting event that brings together our community partners to help raise funds to support PHILLIPS various programs.

The funds raised through the 2012 annual gala will go towards the New Horizons Fund. This fund provides seed money to develop and design new services for current clients, as well as for future clients.  One of PHILLIPS’ goals is to prepare our students to lead successful lives once they leave our programs. We do this through a variety of avenues with a major focus on Career Education and Independent Living Skills. It is critical for PHILLIPS to ensure our students have the necessary support services the need for successful transitions. Money from the New Horizons Fund may be used to support PHILLIPS’ independent living skills development and transition support services for our children.  Your support of PHILLIPS’ annual gala will ensure we have the resources necessary to continue and enhance our career education and transition support services.
