New York Bird Dog Series helps send children to Camp!

Starting in 2011, the New York Bird Dog Series has donated $10,000 to the Autism Center at Ontario ARC.  The donation is used to help send children at Ontario ARC to a Summer Day Camp at 4H Camp Bristol Hills in Bristol, New York.

The Autism Center partners with 4H Camp Bristol Hills to bring the summer camp experience to children with autism and other developmental disabilities.  The collaboration gives children with special needs the support and opportunity to create lasting memories and build new friendships, with trained staff from Ontario ARC on-site.

Thank you New York Bird Dog Series for your continued support of this great opportunity!

Pathways Happy Tails Donation!

Throughout the year, members of the Pathways program at Ontario ARC purchase items to donate to the local animal shelter, Happy Tails in Canandaigua.

Members of the donation team at Pathways!

Members of the Pathways program raise the money, purchase the items and deliver the items to Happy Tails.  To raise the money for the donated items, people supported by the Pathways program work very hard to create various items,  including several upcycled items that they are incredibly proud to sell to support this cause.  It's a great way to give back to the local community and visit some of our favorite animals at the same time!  To learn more about the Happy Tails animal shelter, visit their website.
