BFAIR Launches Heart of BFAIR Campaign

NORTH ADAMS — BFAIR launched its 2022 Heart of BFAIR Campaign as its annual appeal. With various day, residential, and community services, BFAIR is home for many while creating community access and advocating for the equality of people of all abilities.

As a kickoff to the campaign, BFAIR participated in Giving Tuesday with a match of $5,000 from Adams Community Bank, raising more than $10,000 in a single day.

To support the campaign, community members can also purchase handmade gifts crafted by BFAIR program participants. Sales of these items will go towards providing quality, individualized care for BFAIR programs and residences. Information about BFAIR holiday items can be found by clicking here.

“Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, BFAIR provides quality and individualized care to nearly 400 people with developmental disabilities, autism, and acquired brain injury,” said Tara Jacobsen, director of Development. “This type of care is at the foundation of our organization, not providing a one-size-fits-all model, but offering programs and services that best fit the needs of each person in BFAIR’s programs and residences.”

Those who support the Heart of BFAIR campaign through Dec. 31 will help to promote accessibility, create independence, and enhance program resources for more than 400 people served by BFAIR. Donations can be made at www.bfar.org/donate/heartofbfair.
