Hi! We are two moms with special needs children trying to make a difference in this world, and by doing so, we created this event! We realized that families did not know about all the amazing resources out there for people with disabilities in Erie and Crawford County.

We came together with the idea of showcasing those resources to parents and caregivers. Our goal is to bring all the resources together, from early intervention to adulthood, all under one roof so families can get the information and help they need!
