ANNUAL REPORT Easter Seals Blake Foundation
Easter Seals Blake Foundation ANNUAL REPORT EASTER SEALS BLAKE FOUNDATION ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE 7750 E. Broadway Blvd. • Suite A200 • Tucson, AZ 85710 Phone: (520) 327-1529 Fax: (520) 327-1836 Organization Easter Seals Blake Foundation has been serving disabled & disadvantaged individuals and their families throughout Southern Arizona since 1950, positively impacting the lives of over 18,000 children, adults, and families each year. Our services range from Early Intervention and Head Start programs, summer camps, behavioral health services, all the way to long term supported living and employment training. We are the largest non-profit & community services employer in Southern Arizona. We offer social service programs in Pima, La Paz, Cochise, Santa Cruz, Gila, Pinal, Graham, Greenlee, Yuma, Maricopa and the five northern counties. MISSION Easter Seals Blake Foundation is dedicated to the idea that all people deserve the chance to live healthy, productive, and independent lives. Our educational, therapeutic, family support and community living programs are designed in accordance with our mission: to enable each individual served to discover and meet his or her maximum potential for independent, productive living and developmental growth. VISION We will provide opportunities, support and services to children, adults and families, with compassion and respect for them as valued members of their communities, involved and participating based on their own choices. 1 2013 was another productive and evolving year for ESBF. With the help of our board development committee, whose goal is to identify and engage potential members that connect with our mission and delight in producing our annual fundraisers, our board welcomed new members this year. These new members have unique talents that have bolstered our creative and diverse partnership. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Despite the economy, our board, staff, and volunteers continue to make each event more lucrative and successful than the year before. This year the Spring Golf Classic at the Golf Club at Vistoso, helmed by Autumn van den Berg, featured a clinic by Golf Magazine Top 50 teaching pro JoAnne Lusk. It also featured a stirring post-tournament speech by Adiba Nelson, whose daughter Emory has flourished at Children’s Achievement Center. Our Walk With Me was also a huge success. Chaired by board member Lindy Cote, the event drew close to 500 participants, filled three jumping castles with tumbling children, and delighted all with Cinco de Mayo inspired Chihuahua races sponsored by country music station KIIM-FM. We also have to offer a special thank you to Angel Charity For Children, Inc. who saw fit this year to award our Children’s Achievement Center with $180,000 for scholarships. Ablebodied children and children with disabilities and development delays alike can enjoy each other’s accomplishments in an environment inclusive to children with special needs. Thank you for help making 2013 a wonderfully productive year, Betsy Bruce Board President 2 2013 has been a whirlwind year for all of us at Easter Seals Blake Foundation! We are so grateful to be busy with growth, and expanding our abilities to reach Arizonans in need or at risk. And we are also grateful for the ongoing support of all our generous donors and volunteers, as well as the extraordinary commitment of our staff. LETTER FROM THE CEO In the fall of 2012, we started consolidating services provided to one area, a central campus that will allow easier access to all programs and offers a long-term cost savings for the organization. The new location at 7750 E. Broadway Blvd. houses the Administrative, Community Living Services and the Children & Family Services Arizona Early Intervention program offices, all of which were housed in several different locations across Tucson. We feel strongly that the highest and best use of this property would be the development of a Community Resource Campus. This would entail leasing many of the vacant suites to community non-profit organizations. We believe this would provide an essential synergistic environment for community service providers. The Solar Power Project, which we began last year was completed this fall and we have an impressive array of solar structures on our Broadway campus. See the aerial view of the project in the photo below. Working with Technicians for Sustainability was a great experience, and we look forward to many years of power savings with this installation. I must make note of the work of our energetic and engaged ESBF Board of Trustees. The Board has continued to grow all their special events each year, and they work as a well-oiled machine with their planning and events, expertly aided by our new Events Manager, Carrie Durham. The Board also has been very active in assessing how they can be of greatest value to the 3 agency, and is working to develop the Board to be even more effective in the long term. The ongoing effects of increasing poverty and insufficient public funding for children, families, individuals with behavioral health issues, and physical and developmental disabilities, continue in our state. And our Child Protective Services and Foster Care systems are strained past capacity. In responding to these community challenges, we work continuously to do more with less, and to reach more children, adults and families in need. This past year we have reached over 18,000 individuals and families in Arizona, and have a presence in every county in the state. The year ends on a bittersweet note; our long-time Director of Child And Family Services, Annabel Graves Ratley, is retiring at the end of 2013. It is almost impossible to overstate the value Annabel has added to our Child And Family Services. In her twenty plus years with us she has grown the division from a small self-contained preschool program to a major player in the field of child development, family support , training and preservation, infant and child behavioral health, early intervention, early education, Head Start and Early Head Start services, and advocacy for all children. She has been generous with her transition and training time with the new CFS Director, Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez. On a happier note, Angel Charity for Children announced in February that they would be partnering with our Children’s Achievement Center to provide tuition support for 100 lowincome families in 2014 and 2015. We are honored to have the chance to partner with Angel Charity and are excited to serve these families in our community. Thank you again for the opportunity to make a difference in our communities with the important work of our agency. We count on your ongoing support with our mission to afford all people the means to lead healthy, productive and independent lives.

SAGE also offers behavioral health services, including equine assisted mental health services to youth. Campo Urbano We welcomed several new therapists, horses, and clients to Campo Urbano in 2013! Last year’s inaugural healthy relationships girls group was such a success that we expanded to include a boys group, too! Supported employment programs continue to innovate sustainable gardening and animal husbandry in the desert. We’ve partnered with several local organizations this year: expanding our desert gardens, increasing community awareness of water harvesting, & writing outdoor therapy curriculum. We’re excited about 2014, with amazing collaboration underway with the University of Arizona’s School of Dance. Supported Living In 2013 we assisted 10 new clients in realizing their personal goals of independent living. We aim to transcend traditional residential support models by providing flexible support, strength based services, oversight by individuals of staffing & activities, and community inclusion. With support from SAGE, one new client, whose goal was to move out of his family home and into his own apartment, not only achieved independent living, but also earned gainful employment. We’re expanding capacity, too - working to double the number of new clients in 2014. Employment & Community Services Safford’s Main St. Café is the gathering place for community members. We have won several awards including: Best Downtown Business, and Best Downtown Dish. SAGE works in Graham & Greenlee counties to establish innovative business ventures that serve the dual purposes of creating employment opportunities and fulfilling community need. Our ice creamery in Morenci, AZ, Cup & Cone, is a popular stop for locals, and has a profound effect on employees’ lives. In collaboration with Freeport-McMoRan Copper Mine, SAGE supports employees who recycle discarded metals from wire. We continue to seek opportunities to improve services in rural areas of Arizona. 6 CFS-CHI L DR EN A N D FA M I LY S E RV I C E S Children & Family Services programs provide support to children and families in the areas of health, child abuse and neglect, parenting, child development and early education, behavioral health and developmental disabilities. Gift From Angel Charity For Children, Inc. Lilly is an exceptional 17-month-old girl with ocean blue eyes and a sunshine smile. While enrolled at Children and Family Services’ nationally-accredited child care center, the Children’s Achievement Center, Lilly has had the chance to learn language, social, and motor skills in a high-quality early education environment. When Lilly’s parents each lost their jobs within a few months of each other, the family was at a loss. Safe, reliable child care is often the biggest expense for working families and one of the principal barriers to maintaining employment. Fortunately, our agency was able to provide tuition assistance as Lilly’s family transitioned through this trying period. With the support of our agency and donors, Lilly’s parents are each working again and she continues to learn and grow. Recognizing the need in our community for affordable high-quality child care, Angel Charity For Children, Inc. (ACC) took up the cause. In February, ACC announced that it would award $180,000 to provide tuition assistance for 100 low-income families enrolled at the Children’s Achievement Center. We were deeply honored to receive this support and recognition and look forward to serving these families in 2014 and 2015. Additional Highlights The Arizona Early Intervention Program (which provides a team of therapeutic professionals in service to children zero to three with developmental delays and /or disabilities) continues to grow and now serves southeastern Maricopa County in addition to seven Southern Arizona counties. Due to the alarming increase in Arizona children involved with Child Protective Services, our New Visions for Families, Parent Aide, and In-Home Service programs are seeing increased referrals to provide an array of services, including therapeutic and basic needs support, for this vulnerable population. Finally, we are delighted to welcome new CFS Division Director, Linda Lopez. Her vast child welfare service experience, and her 13 years as an Arizona state legislator, makes her a valuable addition to the team. Fondest wishes for retiring Division Director Annabel Ratley, who in her more than 20 years of service, built the division into what it is today. She will be greatly missed. 7 CLS-CO M M UN I TY LI V I N G S E RV I C E S Community Living Services provides residential and rehabilitative care for adults with cognitive & physical disabilities. Some of the residents are dually-diagnosed with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Their disabilities have led to self-care deficits that require them to need full-time habilitation care in order to perform daily living activities. New Homes Cathy: On March 16, 2013, Community Living Services (CLS) opened the new Cathy Home. It is the home of two happy, creative and energetic women. The home is owned by one of these two ladies’ parents. Cathy is an Individually Designed Living Arrangements (IDLA) home funded by DDD. We are very happy to have these young women as part of our CLS family. La Cienega: About a year ago, Easter Seals Blake Foundation (ESBF) was given a two bedroom townhome in the will of an anonymous donor. In September of this year, we were able to furnish and repair the property to make it a home for two gentlemen that are funded by United Healthcare Community Partners. The two men are very happy in their new home, and we are very thankful for the generosity of our anonymous donor! CLS 1st Annual Rummage Sale On April 27, 2013, the staff of CLS held our 1st annual Rummage Sale to help benefit the Walk With Me event. Thanks to the generous donations of people in the community and employees of ESBF, we were able to accumulate an enormous amount of merchandise for the sale. Our management team spent many hours sorting and tagging items and everyone did it with a smile, knowing that it was going to a great cause. On the day of the sale people lined up early to purchase new found treasures, buy raffle tickets and purchase great hotdogs graciously donated by ESBF Board Member Linda Fiore and the Tanque Verde Swap Meet. ESBF’s Chief Operating Officer, Rodney Jilg and CLS Associate Director, Siamphay Bouttirath manned the grill and sold the hotdogs! We raised an impressive sum and a good time was had by all! Direct Support Professional of the Year Tracey Maples, on left in photo, a direct support professional with our CLS division, was recently honored at the 10th Annual Direct Support Professionals Awards Ceremony, held at the Disability Empowerment Center in Phoenix on September 27, 2013. Tracey was one of twelve individuals honored for their dedication to their profession and was selected from over 140 nominees throughout the State of Arizona! Tracey is the Assistant Manager of the ESBF Walnut Home in Safford and is an outstanding advocate for those we serve. Her goal is to make the lives of the individuals she serves better in every way. Congratulations Tracey, we are proud to have you on our team of professionals here at Easter Seals Blake Foundation! 8 F inancials How was your money invested?
