New Roof Completed! Your Help Still Needed!

A world renowned rehabilitation and recreation program for children and adults who are deaf, blind, and multidisabled, the MGHSE program is the largest facility in the nation serving those with disablilities. MGHSE provides therapeutic and recreational activities in addition to hippotherapy, controlled physical therapy on horseback, to more than 350 AIDB students per year.

The MGHSE arena has completed the new metal roof. The leaking washers and brittle skylights caused the insulation and cloth to deteriorate and fall, requiring that the interior of the facility be constantly monitored nad protected. The cost to replace the roof was estimated at $149,877. The Susan Mott Webb Charitable Trust, Birmingham, kicked off the campaign with a $25,000 gift. Many other donors followed suit, but we still need your help! Due to the rising prices of materials, the final cost was $190,000.00, leaving us with a $40,000.00 shortfall.
