Respite, time away, a break, whatever you call it…
we call it BiG Night Out.

With any relationship, it takes work. It takes effort to make sure that it goes the distance. When there are additional needs in the form of disabilities, it adds more to juggle. Scheduling, finances, sitter, dietary needs, medications, and peace of mind all play into scheduling a night away. We know this first hand. We almost became a statistic because of the toll autism has taken in our marriage. However, this is not how it has to be!

When we hosted the first date night (thanks to a fantastic donor) and received the feedback, we felt this had to become a branch.  And not just for married couples. Single parents, we don't know how you all do it. The strongest of the strong also need days away! 

Through BiG Night Out, we serve families by providing a night away once a month without the added stress of the finances that go with it. On the third Friday of each month, we are hosting a night full of fun for our teens and adults with disabilities. There will be some months where the dates are couple focused and we will send parents/caregivers to a dinner with a gift card and a check for a sitter. Be sure to check out our Events page to see what is going on each month!
