2007 Distribution
of Grants
On November 2, 2007, Jamie’s Smiles’ second grant was issued
to the Macomb Infant Preschool Program (MIPP). This $1,000 grant will
be used
to purchase an indoor combined play yard and ball pit, reclining booster
chairs, cube chairs and trays for bumble chairs all for the use of special needs
children in the MIPP program. Where practical, items will also be made available
to loan to the parents of special needs children to enhance their
therapy outside
of the classroom (i.e. in the home).
The first picture below shows the presentation of the check
to the Macomb Infant Preschool Program Home Program Staff and Supervisor (Back Row: Debbie Rosenblatt, Marj Bryen,

program.
As a result of the generosity of the Nino
Salvaggio Charitable Foundation for Children in Need, in December Jamie’s Smiles
presented an additional $5,000 grant to the Macomb Infant Preschool Program at
their annual Santa Brunch for special needs children in their program. The
money will be used by MIPP for the purchase of specialized physical/occupational
therapy equipment as well as for on-site education and for loan to special needs
children in the Macomb Infant Preschool Program.
