Every October, Elwyn sets aside one day for our whole community to come together and celebrate the employees and individuals who make Elwyn so incredible. This year it falls on Saturday, October 17.

Elwyn's mission is simple: to make life better for people with developmental and behavioral health challenges. Our employees live that mission every single day. Elwyn Day is our chance to celebrate them.

All funds raised on Elwyn Day support the Enrichment Fund, a program that empowers our employees to go above and beyond for the people in Elwyn's care.

Each project the fund supports is employee-led and starts with an employee's idea. This year, those ideas became eight projects, from a therapeutic outdoor playground to a greenhouse to a prom for students at the Davidson School.

Public funding pays for a great deal at Elwyn, and we are so incredibly grateful for it. The Enrichment Fund is how Elwyn goes above and beyond, and Elwyn Day is how we fill it.

I am fundraising for Elwyn Day this year. I am asking for your support. Every gift, big or small, helps bring these ideas to life.
