The Holidazzle committee thanks these donors who Put People First by supporting The Dazzle in 2009...

We hope you will join these donors in considering all the great work that DFRC does in our community for those living with intellectual disabilities – because in fact, they need our help more than ever! DFRC has seen its grant requests more than double over the past two years and have responded by distributing the highest amount of funding in the foundation’s 50+ year history.  We see this trend continuing as the numbers of grant requests received so far this year continues to rise.

Why were are Putting People First in 2009...

Each year, DFRC’s Holidazzle Committee has come to you and asked you to join us for a gala event and for your support to help us carry out our mission of enriching the lives of Delawareans with intellectual disabilities. 

Whether it be through a fashion show, a play, a comedy show or most recently, a movie night at home with your family and friends – you have been steadfast and generous in your support. 

This year we had an event planned for you, but as our mission states, we Put People First. After much thought and consideration of you, our loyal supporters, we have decided that in this environment, it is difficult to justify the expense of producing such an event, and we are presenting The Dazzle as our fundraiser for 2009.

So while we will miss seeing you at a Holidazzle gala this year, we are asking for your continued, steadfast support for those we help – while recognizing that your capacity to give this year may be impacted by this economy.

Be assured that by curtailing this year’s event, every dollar raised by The Dazzle will go directly to toward Putting People First - enriching the lives of Delawareans with intellectual disabilities.
