The Arc of Tippecanoe County

Registration for the 2018 Arc in the Park 3K/5K/10K run/walk is open. You can click the tab above to go right to the event information which includes the link to the registration form.

The response to our Sponsorship requests have been great but we still have room for a few more sponsors. Sponsorship includes your company logo on the back of the Arc in the Park 2018 t-shirts.

We are looking for lots more walkers and runners. Please share this information with your family, friends and neighbors. You can also go to the Arc’s Facebook page and share our event information on your Facebook to get the word out.

Watch for more announcements about Arc in the Park Near Dark on Fridays leading up to the event both here and on Facebook. We have lots of changes this year to bring more folks out for the event. There will be something for EVERYONE!

This is the Tippy Arc’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Last year we raised over $3,000 for the direct services programs. This included the cost of the Holiday Dinner and Dance, Water Wars at Happy Hollow Park and lots of other great events. We are hoping to raise even more money this year to cover the expansion of the children’s programs and to support field trips to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and Zoo for Arc Members of all ages and their family/staff. We need your help to do this!!

Walk, Run, Recruit Runners, Dance and SHARE,SHARE,SHARE!!

Hi All!

We are making some changes to our Spring schedule for Adult Recreation. We will be moving the Prom to July so we can use an exciting new venue that I believe you will all love. Due to this move we had to change around a few of the other events. The Bowling Event this month will be moved from the 13th to the 27th…see event tab for more information and watch for the flyer later in the week. We will be adding a Bingo Evening on May 18th and doing our annual Picnic in June. We will also have a special Dance Marathon/Contest at Arc in the Park Near Dark with a live DJ to make up for our Valentine’s Dance postponed due to weather. Watch for more information about all theses events coming up soon.

Arc in the Park Near Dark will also have some special promotions for our Adult Members. If you register to walk or run, your staff or family can walk/run with you at no cost. We will also issue a free pass to a future Adult Recreation Event to all Adult Program members who register to walk/run at the event. This is in addition to the dance event.

I am also looking for 5 more members for our Adult Program Advisory Committee. This group will provide input on events for Adult Programs and help with Adult Recreation events. Group members will also have the opportunity to set in on Board meetings, Community meetings and help me with presentations about The Arc and living with a disability in Tippecanoe County. Call me at 765-476-3277 or email me at director@arcoftippecanoe.org for more information or to apply.

I am really excited about these changes to the program for 2018. I think you will all enjoy the events.

Come join The Arc of Tippecanoe at LaLa Gallery on March 23, 2018 from 6-8pm for some fun with clay.  At this event you will be learning about pottery, rolling your own clay, stamping it and choosing your colors.  Lala Gallery will then help us by turning your works of art into a beautiful bowl you may keep forever.
