The Children's Center receives grant funding for special needs bikes
Special bikes for both typically developing and special needs children
TITUSVILLE, FLA, June 10, 2009—The Children's Center, located at 5650 South US 1 in Titusville, received a $2,000 grant from the Margaret R. Binz Foundation, Inc., a Brevard County charitable organization, to purchase a variety of special bicycles for both typically developing and special needs children at the center.
The Children's Center, an affiliate of Parrish Medical Center, offers a variety of learning and early development programs for area children. The lack of adequate playground equipment prompted the Jess Parrish Medical Foundation to submit the request for funding to the Margaret Binz Foundation.
The bikes create opportunities for children to practice and develop their large muscle skills, essential for future learning and success. With the increased number of special needs children being served at the center, the bicycle purchase not only provides therapeutic training, but also the opportunity for the children to manipulate the bicycles independently.
The Children's Center consists of six local partner agencies working together to meet the needs of children. It annually serves nearly 1,300 children and their families. The Children's Center is located at 5650 S. Washington Avenue in Titusville. For more information call the Children's Center at 321-264-0855 or visit parrishmed.com.
The mission of JPMF is to build partnerships with people who have a common interest in insuring continued healthcare excellence for the residents of North Brevard.
