Okay… should we try this again?! 👀❤️

I’ve had several service providers and advocacy organizations reach out asking about another adult speed dating event and you KNOW The Goofy Gators is always down to make something fun happen!

Give me the people and I’ll do the rest — find the spot, plan the event, organize the matches and make it happen. 💕

So I’m officially putting out some feelers…

WHO’S IN?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

If you have adults who would love the chance to meet someone, make a connection and have some fun, send them our way!

No date. No location. No big plans… YET. 😏
Let’s see who’s interested and go from there!

As school begins...

Your child doesn't need a perfect parent.

They need one who shows up.

One who tries.

One who loves them.

One who keeps advocating.

Some days will be hard.

Some mornings will be messy.

Some afternoons will end in tears.

That's okay.

Progress isn't measured by perfect days.

It's measured by continuing to show up.

💜 The Goofy Gators is cheering you on every step of the way.

✨MEET THE SPEAKER✨

We're excited to introduce **Erin Farrell**, founder of The Goofy Gators, who will be opening this year's Empowered Together Conference!

Opening Presentation:
Supporting Families in a System That Feels Overwhelming

From waiting lists and evaluations to IEP meetings, therapies, insurance, and trying to balance everyday life, families of children with special needs often find themselves navigating a system that can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating.

In this opening session, Erin will share the realities many families experience, the importance of finding support along the journey, and how building a strong community can help families feel empowered instead of overwhelmed.

Together, we'll explore:
💜 The challenges families commonly face while navigating services and supports
💜 Why no family should have to do it alone
💜 The power of connection, advocacy, and community
💜 How supporting one another creates better outcomes for everyone

As the founder of The Goofy Gators, Erin has spent years connecting families with resources, support, and one another. This opening presentation will set the tone for a day focused on education, encouragement, and empowerment.

🍎 Let's help each other!

What's ONE lunch your child actually eats?

Because let's be honest...

Packing Pinterest lunches is fun...

Until your child brings home the entire thing untouched. 😂

Drop ONE lunch idea below!

Maybe you'll inspire another family this week.

Presentation:
Building Social Confidence & Meaningful Connections

Helping children build friendships and feel confident in social situations is something many families hope for—but knowing where to start isn't always easy.

Drawing from both her professional experience and her journey as the parent of a child with autism, Ilona will share practical strategies to help children strengthen social skills, develop meaningful relationships, and navigate everyday social situations with greater confidence.

In this session, you'll learn:
💜 Practical ways to encourage social growth
💜 Strategies for helping children build lasting friendships
💜 How to support confidence in everyday social situations
💜 Real-world insights from both a professional and parent perspective

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or clinician, you'll leave with ideas you can begin using right away to help children feel more connected and confident.

Sharing once more - thank you to those who donated! He was able to get groceries and some school supplies.

My son’s friend is 19 years old and currently experiencing homelessness. He’s a really good kid and is set to start school in just a few weeks.

Let’s come together and help him through this difficult time and give him the support he needs to start this next chapter! Anything helps and is truly appreciated 💜
