“I was honored to participate as a table host at the 2022 ATOU Fundraiser, Evening of Insight and was looking forward to getting back out in the community after so much time spent at home.  What a spectacular event!  A very enthusiastic and generous audience, A fun and relaxed atmosphere but most of all, an inspiring mission.
As I guided blindfolded guests through a meal by an emcee who was herself blind, I was reminded how challenging it must be on a good day to navigate our world with a disability. We are extremely fortunate to have ATOU as a resource to educate the community on the need for inclusion of everyone. We are not complete until all are welcomed, understood, and provided a safe environment to thrive.”

A Touch of Understanding is a special organization, and the Evening of Insight dinner provides a unique opportunity to gain some empathy into the challenges of those with disabilities. It is a combination of education and fun. We’re pleased to provide support for this worthwhile group. It is so important to work with our youth to teach respect and understanding of others with physical and mental challenges.

“Remarkable barely does justice in describing an Evening of Insight. It was truly an eye-opening experience to eat a meal in the dark and to experience what many other people go through. I was impressed with how well organized the room was set-up and the incredible fundraising efforts that included many different ways for people to donate without feeling pressured to do so. Always enjoy learning more about A Touch of Understanding (ATOU) that provides disability awareness programs to educate the challenges associated with disabilities and to accept and respect all individuals. I look forward to attending again next year!”

“I can honestly say it was a night that will not escape my memory for years to come. First of all, I attended the event with the hopes to learn more about ATOU. By the end of the evening I clearly gained a greater understanding of ATOU’s mission. This experience left a great impact on me.”

“Understanding and insight. Those two words perfectly sum up for me what ATOU does in our local community and across the globe. Sometimes all we need, in particular our children, is just a “touch,” an introduction, to the challenges people with disabilities face. That introduction kicks off a lifelong understanding and support grounded in acceptance and respect for all individuals. That is why I enthusiastically support ATOU.”
