Each year, in communities across the country, dynamic, passionate candidates engage in a spirited ten-week fundraising competition to earn The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s “Man & Woman of the Year” titles, by raising funds for blood cancer research.  Our exciting 2016 event will begin with a kickoff celebration on Thursday, March 31st.  The fundraising competition will culminate with a celebration of everyone’s efforts at the Grand Finale Gala on Saturday, June 11th at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.

Derby Day- Shepherd Center

HAFDS is proud and happy to be able to offer a seat in our Beautiful Bouquets ( June 20, 2015 ) class to Shepherd Spinal Center’s 33rd Annual Derby Day Auction!
DerbyAll proceeds generated from the event go to support Shepherd Center’s Recreation Therapy Program.

One of the best ways to adjust to lifestyle changes caused by a disability is to participate in meaningful recreation activities. Research shows that positive recreation time can increase healthcare and physical fitness, self-confidence, development of skills and competence, social interaction, quality of life and overall well being. Recreation Therapy provides patients an opportunity to participate in activities that challenge expectations and stereotypes.

The goals of the program are to improve physical, cognitive, and/or social functioning and to return the individual to as independent, active and healthy a lifestyle as possible. These goals are achieved through leisure counseling/leisure education, leisure skill instruction, and community reintegration.
