Groundbreaking ceremony for the Tom Golisano School at Springbrook

Who Says You Can't Go Home?
Home. Funny how four little letters can carry such a powerful meaning. Songs, stories, poems and movies have been written about it. People have devoted untold numbers of hours reminiscing about it. What we have concluded is that for all of us, "home" means something different but equally powerful – and the thought of being separated from home is just too much to bear.

For too many children with developmental disabilities, however, being separated was not a choice. For them, home is in New York – but that is hundreds and thousands of miles and several states away.
Until now.

Join Springbrook’s students, families, staff and Trustees at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Tom Golisano School at Springbrook on Thursday, July 29th at 12:30pm.

Thanks to your generosity, for these children, home and family will be only a few minutes’ drive away - a few hours at most – right here in their home state of New York.

Come together for the beginning of a new era. Celebrate as we kick off construction on our $22 million autism school, houses, gymnasium and renovations. Stand with us as we proudly proclaim, "Yes! We CAN go home!"
