ABOUT 3 FOR 1 BRACELET DAYS

An opportunity for individuals with developmental disabilities to build self-esteem and social awareness by helping others

3 for 1 Bracelet Days are an opportunity for individuals with developmental disabilities to build self-esteem and social awareness through fundraising for two noteworthy causes: hunger Meals on Wheels Association of America and healthcare Doctors Without Borders. SpPHO chose to support these two vital charities since they are easy for our volunteers with developmental disabilities to conceptualize — everyone needs food and medicine!

SpPHO’s 3 for 1 Bracelet Days are a rare opportunity to support three charities with a single donation (3 for 1), in exchange for our SpPHO bracelet. First, you support SpPHO’s core mission: to give individuals with developmental disabilities the chance to build self-esteem and social awareness by helping others. And you are financially supporting two valuable organizations: Meals on Wheels Association of America and Doctors Without Borders — since SpPHO gives 100% of your donation in equal portions to these two worthy causes.

To make this possible, our generous donors and corporate sponsors provide funding for all administrative and event-related costs, including the cost of our special bracelets.
