ABOUT THE
CHALLENGE
Achieve More…
Accessibility
Finding safe
and accessible housing is a constant challenge people with
disabilities face every single day. Currently we have a
waiting list – people who have chosen to receive services
through South Dakota Achieve and yet we are unable to help
at this time because we lack the space.
This year the
net proceeds from the 5th Annual
Morgan Stanley
Big Cup Challenge will be directed to rent subsidies for the
people we serve. Our goal is to make accessible and
affordable homes to adults with disabilities because so many
dream about living in a real home in a real neighborhood and
with friends.
Achieve
More… Affordability
Finding affordable housing
is another challenge people with disabilities face. Nothing
compares with the feeling one receives from living in a safe
and comfortable home – and knowing you have the means
necessary to live there.
A portion of
the net proceeds from this year’s golf benefit will also be
used to reduce rent payments for those individuals living in
the duplex.
You can help!
Here’s how…
1) Play golf and have fun getting to know the new South Dakota
Achieve on June 2nd at Minnehaha Country Club.
2) Consider
making a contribution to the
Wish
List of appliances and
other amenities so together we can make the house into a
home.
3) Consider
an additional cash gift that we’ll direct to making homes
more affordable and more accessible for people with
disabilities.
About South
Dakota Achieve
In
1958, eleven families started
South Dakota Achieve because
they believed there was a better way of life for people with
disabilities. They understood the value of giving their
family member a chance to have a meaningful life. Fifty
years later, South Dakota Achieve takes pride in its legacy
and its mission to find innovative ways for people with
disabilities to achieve their dreams. – everything from
receiving more education, to gaining new job skills, to
giving back to the community. Currently, 416 people receive
services through South Dakota Achieve.
