The Chadwick Foundation would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Peggy Sue Barnette for donating a washing machine to the Chadwick Foundation Academy!

This generous gift saved our organization more than $600 if we were to have to buy new, and this donation will help support our Fall 2026 programming as participants build independent living and employment skills through hands-on learning experiences.

🌟 Summer Camp Day 2 Recap! 🌟

What a phenomenal second day of summer camp at the Chadwick Foundation Academy!

Today, our campers officially formed two teams that will battle it out all summer long:

🐻 The Bold, Brave Bears – "Brave enough to try, bold enough to win!"

πŸ’ͺ The Unstoppables – "You can't hold us back!"

Throughout the summer, these teams will compete in exciting STEAM challenges, relay races, creative competitions, team-building activities, and so much more. Every challenge will test their teamwork, problem-solving skills, determination, and imagination as they earn points toward the ultimate summer camp championship!

The energy, excitement, and school spirit were on full display today, and we can't wait to see what these incredible campers accomplish in the weeks ahead.

Now the big question is...

πŸ’™ Meet Dustin Phillips, Founder of The Chadwick Foundation πŸ’™

Over the last several posts, you've met the incredible team that will help make Summer Camp possible this year. Their passion for serving individuals with exceptional needs is what makes our mission come to life each day.

For those who may not know me, my name is Dustin Phillips, and I founded The Chadwick Foundation with a simple dream: to create a place where individuals with exceptional needs and their families feel connected, cared for, and championed on behalf of.

What started as a dream has become a reality, and I am grateful every day for the people who have helped make it possible. While I am proud of how far we've come, I am even more excited about where we're going. My vision is to continue growing our programs and services so that more families across the Shoals can find community, opportunity, and belonging.

Whether you join us as a friend, volunteer, donor, supporter, or one day as a family we serve, you have a seat at our table.

Together, we can make the Shoals a place where ALL can live, work, and play. πŸ’™
