Scrapping 4 Inclusion Charity Crop

100% of Tax Deductible Fees will go to The Bubel/Aiken Foundation

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation grew out of the relationship between Clay Aiken and Diane Bubel and Diane’s, then 13-year-old son, Mike who had been diagnosed with autism. Clay met the Bubel family while pursuing a career in special education. The bond between Clay and the Bubel family grew strong as they shared a vision of a world where children like Mike could be fully immersed in society. Both Clay and Diane had witnessed children with disabilities repeatedly turned away from activities opened to typical children. They knew with the right support system doors could be opened to these individuals that had thus far remained closed. An organized effort could encourage and facilitate community inclusion and empowerment of individuals with disabilities. This shared goal grew into reality on July 28, 2003 when Clay officially announced the creation of The Bubel/Aiken Foundation.

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation envisions a world where young people with developmental disabilities are totally immersed in all life has to offer. The desegregation of programs, jobs, services, and educational opportunities will benefit children with and without special needs. We will break down barriers that divide by helping families obtain the services, support and financial assistance that makes full inclusion possible. We will work to educate the public and motivate society to move toward full inclusion as a way of life.

The Bubel/Aiken Foundation has approved the nationwide Scrapping 4 Inclusion initiative. This is an awareness and fundraising campaign where Volunteer Sponsors across the USA and Canada will organize a full day Scrapbooking Crop in their own community for purposes of fundraising and creating awareness about inclusion for all children with and without special needs.
