Greetings. KAP was kind enough to include an article that I wrote re: the MADKAP scholarship fund-raising initiative in its most recent quarterly newsletter. Here it is....thanks!
======================================================
Why would someone run four half marathons in four straight weekends? Surely they'd have to be madcap. And in a way that's right….it's an active effort of Making A Difference for Kelly Autism Program. MADKAP! As the associated blog states, I'm Jeff….Nashville resident, WKU Dad, and Friend of KAP. My son, Ryan, is concluding a very successful freshman year as a Hilltopper, and a significant part of that success can be directly attributed to the services and care provided by the KAP community. As part of MADKAP, we're literally taking the KAP name to the streets - half marathons in Nashville (4/27), Cincinnati (5/5), Paducah (5/11), and Chattanooga (5/18) - to actively promote KAP by increasing awareness of the program and generating financial support. We're specifically seeking to raise $25,000 to be used as an endowment to create self-sustaining scholarships for KAP's college students.
It can be challenging enough to pay for higher education even before considering KAP's fees. But without the helpful resources, nurturing environment, and tailored services provided by KAP, paying for college might be a moot point for some students. Without KAP, they would be much less likely to obtain the support necessary to obtain a college education.
So, as stated, we're making a difference, and we're doing so by generating funds that will have a lasting impact. Perhaps the best part? If we can raise $25,000, then WKU will match our efforts and we'll effectively raise $50,000 for KAP scholarships. And there's lots of room on this figurative road…please join us in being a part of raising both awareness and additional funding. http://madkap2013.blogspot.com
