Services … to Those in Need
PWSA of WI, Inc. reaches out to those in need in a variety of ways, including:
- Membership Scholarships – We offer our services to all. We request a membership registration so that we are not sending information to those who do not wish to receive our mailings. Our membership dues help to support the publishing and mailing of our newsletter as well as other informational handouts. No one is denied a membership. Scholarships are available to those who request one.
- Camp Scholarships – Every year, the Board of PWSA of WI, Inc. sets aside funds to assist children and adults with Prader-Willi syndrome so that they can attend summer camp. These camping experiences provide a time of fun and adventure for the camper as well as a time of respite for parents and caregivers.
- General Assistance – The Board of Directors allocates funds to assist persons with Prader-Willi syndrome as well as those who support them in areas that help them manage some of the extra costs they incur because of their disability. In addition, the Board provides funds for families to attend conferences or other workshops, for respite, home modifications or other requests. Unfortunately, because our funding is limited, we are not able to approve all requests our organization receives.
- Workshop or Conference Scholarships – Every year, PWSA of WI, Inc. sponsors a social and/or workshops for persons with Prader-Willi syndrome as well as families and others who support them. Scholarships are always available for those in need.
