Our mission is to maximize the potential of children and their families.
Great Team. Greater Good.
When you give to the Achievement Center of LECOM Health on Erie Gives Day, you're doing more than making a donation. You're backing a team named one of Erie’s Best Places to Work—and that team is why local kids go beyond limits.
Every day, our staff chooses to show up for children and families facing big challenges. They deliver therapies that spark healing, interventions that change lives, and moments of connection that open doors to brighter futures.
Your gift powers their impact.
Whether it’s a $25 gift for therapeutic play tools or a $500 donation for a therapy scholarship, your support fuels real outcomes: helping a child say their first words, manage anxiety, or feel safe in their own skin.
This isn’t just giving—it’s growing something good, together. And it works because great teams, backed by generous hearts like yours, make great things happen.
Join us on August 12. Let’s keep building what’s possible—together.
