Each recipient will receive a $1,000 award to assist with the achievement of his or her initiative.
Kamani Phillip, 7, attends McNaughton Avenue Public School. He loves his dog and is extremely affectionate to those closest to him.
As Kamani loves animals, music, and the water, the fund will provide him the opportunity to participate in activities including Fun with Music, the Acceptional Riders program, swimming lessons, and bowling.
The second grant is awarded to Cameron Milne, a Grade 6 student attending McNaughton Avenue Public School. Cameron is a kind young man and who enjoys making new friends. The fund will provide social activity opportunities including, the Acceptional Riders program, swimming lessons, bowling and creative creations at Crock-A-Doodle.
Cameron and his family are new to the Chatham-Kent community and they will be able to expand their social networks.
This fund, initiated by Jonathan Daniel Stone’s family, celebrates his life. Daniel was a child who had autism and he died suddenly at the age of 11 in May of 2013.
The purpose of the fund is to annually support initiatives that assist children who have been diagnosed with autism and/or other intellectual disabilities and their families.
The recipients were selected by a review committee comprised of Dr. Jonathan and Sarah Stone, a person supported by Community Living Chatham-Kent, two Community Living Chatham-Kent managers, and a Community Living Chatham-Kent board member.
