What fun we had on the green, we raised $82,000 for our pediatric programs! Thank you to those who joined us for the Momentum Classic Golf Tournament, a prestigious event dedicated to raising critical funds to support our innovative and therapeutic pediatric services at Momentum and supportive employment at Momentum WORK, Inc.

Thank You! We are so grateful for all our friends, families, volunteers, and community members who joined us on April 27th at our Second Annual Momentum Celebrates! gala. We celebrate you and your profound generosity that raised over $410,000 to support the lifespan of services Momentum provides to more than 6,500 children, adults, and families each year.

Momentum Refresh was available to fair-goers from Aug. 24 to Sept. 3 at the Minnesota State Fair. Momentum Refresh is accommodating its “first universal design mobile restroom” which is designed for easy accessibility and inclusivity. This restroom was available on opening day and was open to staff and fairgoers. Be sure to check out MomentumRefresh.org to stay updated about future events.

Camp Escapades, a transformative two-week summer camp for children with disabilities and medical conditions, commenced from July 31st through August 11th at Momentum, a pediatric clinic dedicated to supporting children and families in the South Bay area. Camp Escapades offered 120 children a traditional summer camp experience that fostered a sense of belonging and joy for all participants.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are a vital resource for any size municipality when disaster strikes. Momentum Refresh’s presence at the 2023 National CERT Conference in San Francisco demonstrated the need for reasonable accommodations during disaster and emergency situations. In times of emergency, it’s crucial to provide an inclusive and accommodating environment for everyone, including individuals with disabilities. 

We are so grateful for all our friends, families, volunteers, and community members who joined us on April 29th at our inaugural Momentum Celebrates! gala. The Looking Beyond Foundation gave Momentum $100,000 to support our residential programming in Thousand Oaks and another $10,000 to support future programming at our new site in Thousand Oaks. A total of $340,262 was raised to support the lifespan of services Momentum provides to more than 6,500 children, adults, and families each year. 

Momentum Refresh, the country’s first fleet of mobile adaptive restrooms in the country, showcased true accessibility and equity with its presence at the Los Angeles Abilities Expo for the second year in a row. Two vehicles were on hand, one for tours and the other for use by attendees. “We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again and again until we achieve the equity that we’re striving for—restroom accessibility is just as important as venue accessibility,” says Lori Anderson, President and CEO of Momentum.
