Dave Gradijan's Fundraising Page
The Charles River Center has helped countless kids and adults with developmental disabilities, including my brother Paul, over the past several decades -- but as it is with many human-service organizations, funding is always a challenge. It's hard to imagine how much more difficult things would've been for my brother and our family if the Charles River Center weren't there to help ... so I want to try and make sure it'll still be there to do its amazing work for other families for many years to come.
