Jake's Wheels Invitation

Let's Support This Great Cause:  Jake's Wheels

 

Bentley Foundation was created to manage charitable giving for the Bentley Group affiliates.  Our internal fundraising activities along with participation in a wide variety of charitable events, provide the opportunity to fulfill the Foundation's mission.   One such charitable event is Jake's Wheels .   Jake is a sweet and loving 11-year old boy who was born with congenital hydrocephalus.  At birth, he had a bleed in his brain that caused permanent brain injury.  Due to this injury, Jake has suffered serious medical conditions.  He is also non-ambulatory and requires complete assistance for all of his daily needs and care.   Jake loves to be outdoors listening to birds, going for walks and hearing his brother play ball.  He loves music, reading stories and using toys and art materials on his tray.  In order to continue and preserve Jake's quality of life, he and his family are in need of a handicapped accessible vehicle.  This vehicle will help Jake do the things he loves the most, such as attending baseball games, going to the zoo or children's museum, the beach or just a plain walk in the neighborhood.    Jake now weighs 65 pounds and is still growing!  As Jake continues to grow it will be more difficult to get him to and from the places and the people he loves.  An appropriate vehicle will provide the protection and freedom that Jake and his family need to keep their quality of life and family togetherness.   You can visit Jake's website by clicking here and please save the date, Tuesday, June 25th, to attend a fundraiser sponsored by the Bentley Foundation.  Members of Bentley Foundation will be "guest" bartenders at Vanity Restaurant and Lounge (a Firm client) in Providence.  ALL tips raised that evening will go directly to Jake's Wheels.   Please support the Foundation's efforts by stopping by!  Members of the foundation and friends, John Rainone, Lou Amitrano, Kim Sciuto along with her friend, Keri, and Lori Conaty will be the guest bartenders, serving between the hours of 5:30pm and 9:00pm.  In addition,  SURPRISE celebrity bartenders are expected to make an appearance.   Please join us for a night that's sure to be fun, while supporting this GREAT cause!   Here is a link for directions:  Vanity Restaurant and Lounge.
