As we welcome a new year, let's reflect on what truly matters — connection, community, and meaningful moments that shape lives.

Your generosity helps create opportunities for participants to express themselves through music and art, build confidence through employment and enrichment, and feel a true sense of belonging. We’re grateful to share that the $6,000 matching gift has been fully met — a powerful reminder of what our community can do together. With your continued support, we’re building momentum toward our $25,000 goal and creating even more possibility in the year ahead. https://www.paimn.org/yearend2025.html

Wishing you a joyful New Year from all of us at PAI!

Because of incredible generosity, our Year-End Campaign just got even more impactful! 💛 What began as a $2,500 match has grown into a $6,000 matching gift challenge, thanks to a generous donor and the PAI Board.

Your support today goes twice as far to support music therapy, art programs, community experiences, and employment opportunities at PAI!

More Exciting News! 🎉

Our generous donor’s $2,500 matching gift has increased, and the PAI Board has come together to add another $3,000 match — bringing our total match opportunity to $6,000!

That means your gift is doubled until the full $6,000 is met. This is a chance to make twice the impact for PAI participants during our Year-End Campaign.

Give today and see your generosity go twice as far! paimn.org/yearend2025.html
