The New England Center for Children to Receive Grant From The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation announced that it will award The New England Center for Children a $7,850 grant to support NECC’s Adapted Physical Education and Learn to Swim Programs. For students at The New England Center for Children, physical education is critical in fostering coordination, cooperation, independence, and emotional balance. This grant from The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation will allow NECC to provide students with opportunities to exercise and learn how to swim in integrated settings in the local community. This is the second grant that The New England Center for Children will receive from The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation.

The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation was established in January 2000 as a tribute to the life and legacy of Danny Fiddle. The foundation provides grants to programs that enrich the lives of adolescents and adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A particular focus is to encourage, through grant-giving, opportunities that honor the individuality of every person with ASD so that each may participate in vocational, recreational, educational and residential opportunities that are suitable, stimulating, and sustainable and allow for maximum integration in the community.
