Fraser

Fraser has been a leader in disability and inclusion since 1935, when Louise Whitbeck Fraser founded a school for children with disabilities who otherwise may have been institutionalized. Fraser proudly continues that legacy by providing autism, mental health, and disability services to over 19,000 children, adults, and families throughout Minnesota every year.  

We know everyone deserves the opportunity to belong, thrive, and play. That means creating environments where children we serve can receive expert care. This Give to the Max Day, we need your help. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to build playgrounds at our new locations! 

Outdoor play supports development in many ways. Play allows children to work on motor skills through movement, practice communication using learning panels, receive input that helps learning and feel secure in a space that is tailored to support sensory, physical, and cognitive needs, and more. At Fraser, playgrounds are more than just a space to play, they're an extension of our therapy rooms. 

Thanks to the generosity of Steve and Mary Moen, all gifts will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000. Will you Give to the Max and help ensure every child has an accessible space to play with us?
