Special Needs

"We appreciate the Fusenot Foundation for supporting our organization and contributing to Bankers Hill Club’s goal of establishing a safe and compassionate community for physically disabled persons offering educational, rehabilitative and social opportunities. We are eternally grateful for your support and believing in our mission."

Nita Kramer, President

“The Fusenot Foundation’s support of our youth programming is so valuable to Giant Steps. Roughly half of our clients are youth, and present with a wide range of disabilities. For each we work on specific skills that can be taught through horseback riding such as fine and gross motor skills, balance, coordination, patience and communication. And while we are thrilled with the progress our clients make, what fills our hearts is seeing the joy they feel to be in a community that does not judge them for what they cannot do, but rewards them for what they can. Their smiles tell the whole story!”

Beth Porter, Executive Director

"The generous unrestricted grant from the Georges and Germaine Fusenot Charity Foundation helped SMSC serve 414 adults with developmental disabilities (for example: autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy) with a diverse activities ranging from work training programs to multi-disciplinary arts; from aquatics, gardening and farm-to-table food services to a dedicated “senior citizens” program."
