Every Story Matters: Building Community One Gathering at a Time
At Bella Smiles for Developmental Disabilities, we know that some of the most meaningful moments happen when families come together.
Whether it's around a dinner table, at a community event, or during a fundraiser, those moments create opportunities for connection, understanding, and support.
As we prepare for our 6th Anniversary Fundraiser, Every Story Matters: Tools That Tell Our Story, we are honored to recognize Costco Wholesale for their generous support of our event.
Supporting More Than a Fundraiser
Costco has donated a gift card that will help provide food and beverages for our July 25th fundraiser.
While this contribution may seem simple, its impact reaches much further than the event itself.
For many families raising children with developmental disabilities, community matters. Finding a place where they feel welcomed, understood, and supported matters. Opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences matter.
Food has a unique way of bringing people together. It creates opportunities for conversations, friendships, encouragement, and shared experiences.
Costco's generosity helps us create that welcoming environment.
Every Story Matters
This year's fundraiser theme, Every Story Matters: Tools That Tell Our Story, celebrates the many ways children and families communicate their experiences, strengths, challenges, and dreams.
Every family who walks through our doors has a story.
Stories of perseverance.
Stories of advocacy.
Stories of learning new ways to communicate.
Stories of celebrating milestones, both big and small.
Stories of hope.
At Bella Smiles for DD, we believe those stories deserve to be heard, valued, and celebrated.
Creating opportunities for families to gather and connect is one of the ways we help strengthen our community and remind families that they are not alone on their journey.
Investing in Community
Partnerships with organizations like Costco help make these opportunities possible.
Their support allows us to focus on what matters most—serving families, promoting inclusion, raising awareness, and creating meaningful experiences for the developmental disability community.
We are grateful for businesses that recognize the importance of investing in their communities and helping organizations like Bella Smiles continue their mission.
Thank You, Costco Wholesale
We extend our sincere appreciation to Costco Wholesale for supporting our fundraiser and helping us create a welcoming experience for everyone who attends.
Your generosity helps foster connection, strengthen community, and support families raising children with developmental disabilities.
Thank you for helping us create spaces where every family feels valued, every voice is welcomed, and every story matters.
