About the Growing Bright Futures Campaign

Join us this June, as we launch the Growing Bright Futures campaign to ensure every child in our community has access to the support and care they need to thrive—regardless of income, background, or ability.

The Growing Bright Futures campaign aims to:

✅ Provide access to therapy and early education services

✅ Support children during their most critical stages of development

✅ Ensure long-term sustainability through monthly investor support

By becoming a Monthly Sustaining Investor, you help provide consistency for children who depend on Penfield’s programs. A small monthly gift fuels big change: therapy sessions, early intervention services and high-quality classroom experiences that transform lives.

Your Monthly Support Changes the
Future for Children Like Haley

When Haley was born prematurely at just 34 weeks, her future was filled with uncertainty. Diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome and facing multiple health challenges—including heart conditions, hearing loss, and a feeding tube—Haley needed specialized, consistent care to thrive.

That’s where Penfield came in.

Since joining our Respite program in July, Haley has made incredible strides thanks to the support of our Nursing, Birth to Three, and Early Education teams.

Here’s what your support made possible:
  • She gained enough strength to switch to a more permanent feeding tube.
  • She started rolling, doing tummy time, and trying food by mouth.
  • Today, she’s stronger, more alert, and can sit up on her own for a few minutes.

These may seem like small milestones—but for a child like Haley, they are life-changing. And they’re made possible by investors like you.
