Center-wide benefit luncheon a success
Over 110 guests attended a luncheon on May 6 at the Ann Arbor Marriott Ypsilanti to help raise scholarship dollars for adults to attend the University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) and children and teens to attend speech-language and literacy therapy at the Center. Center Director Dr. Holly Craig talked about the Center’s history, its mission of providing intensive therapy, and the need for scholarship money to help people cover the costs of intensive therapy. Guest speaker Migdalia Musler moved those in attendance as she told about her toddler son who attended the Preschool and Communication Therapy (PACT) program. A poised Sarah McCurrach, age 11, awed the crowd with her story about her dyslexia. And, Doug Gillis inspired the audience with his story about waking up from a stroke not speaking to now speaking to groups of hundreds.
In addition to listening to these inspirational speakers and enjoying a great meal, the guests were treated to delicious chocolates with the UCLL logo on them made special and donated by Schakolad. It was agreed by all that the event was highly successful in both raising much needed funds to help people pay for intensive therapy and informing more people about the intensive speech-language therapy services offered at UCLL.
UCLL greatly appreciates the help from our Table Sponsors, Table Captains, and Supporters in making our event a success!
