Last week, Executive Director Deborah Giesler and Development Director Vera Kramer had the honor of attending the The Rotary Club of Naperville Annual Community Service Grants Program at Mesón Sabika. We are incredibly grateful to have been selected as a recipient in the Family Services category.
A heartfelt thank you to the Naperville Rotary Club and everyone who made this event possible. Support from dedicated community partners like you makes it possible for Synapse House to continue our mission and serve individuals impacted by brain injury and stroke.
