Win Free Therapy for Your Child
Danielle’s Foundation has just launched their Therapist of the Year Contest to recognize a special therapist that goes above and beyond in providing outstanding therapy. But this contest does not only help a special therapist, it will also help a special child. To enter, a child’s parent should fill out an application form and provide a brief explanation of why their therapist should be honored and recognized. The winning family will be awarded a $2,000 grant (made payable to the therapy center) that allows their child to receive FREE therapy sessions. In addition, Danielle’s Foundation will also award the therapy center a $3,000 grant in recognition of their outstanding services. The deadline is November 30th, 2010. For more information and to request an application, contact Danielle’s Foundation’s toll free hotline at: 1-800-368-4334.
