MutualOne Foundation Awards $2,000 Grant to Special Needs Program

The MutualOne Charitable Foundation awarded $2,000 to support special needs programs provided by Camp Arrowhead, the Natick Recreation and Parks Department, and Parents Association of the Handicapped (PATH).

The Foundation grant will provide seven one-week camperships to special needs families requiring financial assistance with program tuition.

“Camping programs such as these are a rewarding experience for individuals with special needs, their families, the sponsoring organizations, and all of the professionals and trained volunteers who come together to make it happen,” said Mark R. Haranas, president and CEO of MutualOne. “We are pleased to sponsor camperships for special needs individuals who might otherwise miss that opportunity.”

The special needs camperships grant was among awards totaling more than $62,250 in the Foundation’s most recent round of funding.

Since it was established in 1998, the MutualOne Charitable Foundation has donated over $3 million to charitable, educational, and civic initiatives that improve and enhance the quality of life in Framingham, Natick, and surrounding communities.
