Upcoming Event in Fresno in Support of Philomath Center
**The below is a message from Mia Natalia, a member of our board of directors. Please note that aside from the personal connection of Mia, NorCal SCI is independent from Philomath Center and its operations, funds, and objectives**
From Mia Natalia:
At NorCal SCI, we are committed to supporting organizations that empower individuals with disabilities to live independent, fulfilling lives. As a proud board member of NorCal SCI, I’m excited to introduce Philomath Center, the nonprofit I founded to provide essential grants that help people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) return to work, advance in their careers, and launch entrepreneurial ventures.
Philomath has a strong connection to the SCI community - its leadership team includes three individuals with spinal cord injuries: Mia Natalia (CEO & Founder), Marlene Contreras (Vice President), and Gretchen D’Souza (Vice Chair of Marketing & Communications). Our firsthand experiences drive our passion for breaking barriers and creating opportunities for the SCI community.
To support this mission, we’re hosting our first annual fundraiser, Beyond Boundaries! Join us on Saturday, March 1, 2024, from 4-6 PM at SCIFIT Fresno (5816 E Shields Ave Fresno, CA) for an evening of community, connection, and collaboration. The event will feature guest speaker Austin McDivitt, a former SCIFIT client, along with a silent auction, and more!
You can support Beyond Boundaries by purchasing tickets, becoming a sponsor, or making a direct donation. If you have an SCI, a discount code is available for your attendance! Email info@philomathcenter.org for the discount code and visit www.philomathcenter.org to reserve your spot.
Give Philomath Center a follow on Facebook and Instagram @philomath.center to stay updated on our mission, grant applications, and upcoming events.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
