One year ago, Kedrick came to us eager to get back into the workforce and find the perfect job. Thanks to our partnership with FedEx Ground in Cypress, Texas, employment services found just that for him. Kedrick, who is outgoing, hardworking, and motivated to provide for his young daughter, landed a job as a Package Handler. Today, he continues to enjoy his position! Congratulations on your dedication and commitment to your job. We are so proud of all that you have accomplished. 🎉👏 #TheCenterforPursuit #EmploymentServices #FedExGround #SuccessStory

And of course, we couldn't forget about the refreshing Kona Ice to cool off in the summer heat. Thank you Dignity Memorial for volunteering and making this day unforgettable! 🌞🎈🍧 #TheCenterforPursuit #AdultDayProgram #FieldDayFun #DignityMemorial #SummerCelebration #IDDAwareness

🐠🌊 Our participants had an amazing time on Friday at Sea Center Texas – Texas Parks and Wildlife Department! They got a behind-the-scenes look at the hatchery and learned all about how they raise and release fish. Plus, they even got to see a baby alligator! It was a day full of fun and learning. Can't wait for our next off-site outing! 🐟🐊 #TheCenterforPursuit #AdultDayProgram #SeaCenterTexas #AquariumAdventures #IDDAwareness

In June, our Next Gen Giving Circle (NGGC) welcomed four panelists: Stephanie Haechten, MS, MPP from the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, Camille Boudreaux from The Center for Pursuit, Britney Eason from Best Buddies Houston, and Zainab Khan from Dar-us-Sakina. These experts helped our NGGC understand how to get involved with and support the issue of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Following this informative discussion, our NGGC established the mission statement for the 2024 grant application.
