Become a Light the Way monthly donor
Light the Way to Belonging is SPARC's monthly giving program — named for the steady, everyday support that keeps the doors open, the programming running, and the community integrated.
Your recurring gift gives SPARC something rare and essential: predictability. It funds art, music, life skills classes, sensory supports, adaptive movement, community outings, and the 2/3 tuition scholarship every SPARC family automatically receives — five days a week, fifty-two weeks a year.
