Art of Ability Fundraising Art Auction
This is TELIC’s annual fundraising event celebrating abilities! There is music, performances, artwork, and food! During this ticketed event, artwork created by our disabled artists is showcased and auctioned off to support our ability to continue to provide inclusive services and programming at no cost to our families.
TELIC’s All Abilities Birthday Bash
This event is held annually, each March, and is a free, fully inclusive, community birthday party catered to families of children and young adults with special needs and their siblings. We recognize that children and young adults with disabilities are not always invited to birthday parties and this is our opportunity to have an all-inclusive birthday event where all abilities are welcome.
Art in a Box
TELIC Empowerment hosts a free live-streamed or recorded art education event for children and young adults, ages 3-30, who love art! This event is facilitated by a disabled art instructor. Registered participants are given a box of art supplies to participate in the art event that is either mailed or hand-delivered.
Strokes for a Cause
This annual art education event is designed to celebrate the talents and artistic abilities of our amateur artists with a disablity, ages 7-30. Participants will create an original, themed masterpiece in an inclusive art education class.
TELIC Cares Emergency Relief Fund
TELIC Empowerment understands that many families have hard times occasionally. For families of individuals with special needs, these times can be especially devastating. Sometimes, a family needs a little help to get back on their feet. Telic Cares will be able to provide temporary relief to special needs families in the areas of finances, food, or medical expenses. Each potential applicant will be carefully selected, and a specific, individual need will be met, based on the application received.
