Erie Gives | August 13, 2025
2025-08-13
Every day, Mission Empower stands beside families navigating the complex world of special education. Through our advocacy services, we help parents become confident leaders in their child’s educational journey—ensuring no family walks this path alone.
When parents are empowered, children with disabilities gain the tools, support, and opportunities they need to thrive. Your support during Erie Gives makes this possible. It fuels a movement where voices are lifted, futures are shaped, and every child—regardless of ability—has a champion.
On Tuesday, August 13, 2025 you can power our mission by participating in Erie Gives, a one-day online giving event hosted by the Erie Community Foundation. The giving window runs from midnight to midnight, and every donation of $25 or more through www.eriegives.org helps Mission Empower qualify for prorated matching funds—stretching your gift even further. Your support helps us continue providing free advocacy, youth leadership opportunities, employment readiness programs, tutoring services, and parent trainings for families and children with disabilities right here in our community.
When you give to Mission Empower on Erie Gives day, you are supporting programs that create a lifetime of empowerment for children with disabilities. Thank you in advance for considering a donation on this unique day of giving to Mission Empower. If you have any questions, please feel free to call our office at (814) 825-0788.
