A Welcome from Wendy Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Easterseals Midwest
Dear Friends, Welcome to the 31st annual Par-Tee Dinner Auction and Tee-It-Up Golf Tournament! As we celebrate another year here at Meadowbrook, I want to take a moment to say thank you to friends both old and new for helping Easterseals Midwest continue to transform lives. Your support here tonight helps individuals with developmental disabilities – including autism – learn, live, work and participate fully in our community. From early childhood education and in-depth autism training, to job training and community living support, Easterseals Midwest helps people with developmental disabilities and their families address life’s challenges and achieve personal goals. The generosity of supporters like you at this annual event, which has raised more than $5 million since it began more than 30 years ago, has made so much possible. From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of the generations of individuals and families this golf tournament has supported, thank you for being a part of this important work. We cannot do this without you. Sincerely,
Wendy Sullivan Chief Executive Officer Easterseals Midwest

YOU MAKE IT ALL POSSIBLE! Easterseals Midwest is part of a nearly century-old network of high-quality disability service providers. While we are part of a strong national network, all of the services we provide were designed in and for the communities we serve. Our board of directors is local, and we have full control of all programs and funding decisions. In Missouri, our organization has been active for more than 50 years, helping to build communities where all people with developmental disabilities have equal opportunities to realize their goals, dreams and aspirations. Currently, we support more than 4,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities through the following programs:
AUTISM SERVICES These services are designed to provide help and hope for families impacted by autism. Our qualified team works with individuals who have autism, as well as with their families, to help them develop communication and social skills, while troubleshooting problem behaviors. A wide variety of customized services—including parent training, autism assessments, early interventions, respite services, family navigation, family support groups, community-integration support and therapies—are available.
COMMUNITY LIVING These services help individuals with developmental disabilities live in their own homes and communities. We customize our services to meet each individual’s need for support, ranging from just a few hours each month to 24/7 support. The Easterseals community living services team is able to assist with developing money management and budgeting abilities, community safety skills, nutrition and meal preparation and housekeeping and personal care skills. Individuals typically live in apartments or homes owned or rented by them or their families.
EARLY CHILDHOOD Our family-focused early childhood program helps at-risk children achieve more in life. At our early education center, teachers use innovative technology and curriculum to meet the needs of children both without and with special health needs or developmental disabilities including autism, cerebral palsy and other diagnoses. Additional services include physical, occupational and speech therapies, as well as in-home screenings that promote brain development and positive parenting techniques.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICES These services help individuals with developmental disabilities find and keep meaningful jobs in the community. Easterseals Midwest customizes services to meet each person’s need for support, and assists individuals with career exploration, jobplacement services, and on-the-job coaching and
BID FOR INDEPENDENCE: YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! The Bid for Independence isn’t something you can take home with you tonight, and it’s not an experience you can enjoy later. This is far better than anything else you can bid on this evening – because this is your opportunity to directly sponsor the success of people with developmental disabilities. With your help tonight, the individuals served by Easterseals Midwest will have access to the programs they need to learn new skills, live, work and participate in the community, while gaining self-confidence, hope and a sense of belonging. 2016 Easterseals Midwest Par-Tee Ambassador

Missouri state tax credits offer donors giving $1,000 or more an amazing incentive, while supporting people with developmental disabilities, including autism. Currently, Easterseals Midwest has two types of Missouri state tax credits: • Youth Opportunity Program (YOP) • Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) YOP tax credits are available to anyone who pays state income tax, while NAP credits are available to anyone who pays taxes on business income. This includes partners in firms, people who own their own companies, as well as sole proprietorships and sub-S corporations, people who receive royalties or rental income in the state of Missouri, and, of course, corporations themselves. These credits are worth 50% of your gift, in addition to state and federal standard deductions. The higher the income tax bracket, the lower the final cost of the gift on the donor. The example below is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. You should consult your own tax advisor prior to making a contribution to confirm the after-tax cost of your donation and to learn more about how these credits can help you achieve your desired outcome.
