Congratulations, WAVES!
Franklin-based organization, Waves, is one of 250 finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, which will award vehicles to 100 nonprofit organizations based on votes from the public beginning Oct. 1, 2013.
Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program will showcase five nonprofit organizations each day for 50 days at Facebook.com/Toyota. Visitors to the page will receive two votes each day to select two separate winning organizations they feel are most deserving of new Toyota vehicles. Waves will be one of the five organizations highlighted for voting on Tuesday, October 29.
Local residents are encouraged to support Waves in the quest for a new Toyota Sienna Mobility. If Waves receives the most votes and is awarded the vehicle, it will be used to transport individuals with disabilities to doctor visits, the grocery store, the Waves day program, and other trips throughout the community.
For forty years, Waves has provided a broad range of support services to adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The programs are designed with the strong vision that all clients enjoy an enhanced quality of life, have a sense of personal value, and are successfully included in community activities.
