Thanks to a variety of development activities throughout the year, Parent to Parent continues to be able to sustain its programs, which have been developed in response to families' needs. We are especially excited about the results of our Annual Appeal, which to date has raised over $11,500, representing a significant increase over the last 3 years.   We encourage donors and prospective donors to think creatively about their methods for giving, be it through payroll deduction, electronic funds transfer, employer matching gift programs, gifts of stock and other planned giving options.  We value your involvement and confidence in the work of Parent to Parent, its staff, and Board of Directors.  Thanks to the following individuals and businesses for their generosity.

Special Thanks:
Parent to Parent would like to convey its sincere appreciation to a number of business people who have continued to contribute to the physical growth and operational success of our organization.  We thank Steve Kidder of Triptik III Realty, and John Bergeron, Esq., Kerin Stackpole, Esq. and the firm of Bergeon Paradis & Fitzpatrick LLP.
