TO HAVE RESOLVE

The I Have Resolve Foundation provides awareness, education, and works in support of inclusion for anyone who faces a physical, social, developmental, or learning challenge. We focus on education, well-being, and supporting inclusion opportunities for individuals, families, organizations, schools, and communities to meet the needs of persons with disabilities.

Our goal is to promote shared opportunities to bridge the gap between those with and those without disabilities. We are committed to increasing the quality of social interaction, work to reduce isolation for those with disabilities, as well as focus on inclusion learning for all.

We believe in a mindset of we all belong. In belonging we live, work, learn and play together to grow, show each other respect and kindness.

OUR THREE PILLARS OF INCLUSION

Inclusive Education for Everyone

We believe every child deserves to learn and grow in an environment that celebrates diversity. Through partnerships with camps, schools, and educators, we support inclusive learning experiences that build empathy, belonging, and leadership among all students.

Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities

We invest in meaningful opportunities that support social connection, recreation, and empowerment. Whether it’s accessible playgrounds, gaming systems for homebound youth, or inclusive sports and events, we’re committed to breaking down barriers and building community.

Inclusive Classroom Supports

Our Classroom of Resolve initiative equips classrooms with specialized resources and tools to support students with disabilities. From adaptive materials to sensory-friendly spaces, we work with educators to create learning environments where every student can thrive.

Our Gala evening on March 21st is quickly approaching, and we are working to finalize our numbers for what promises to be a truly special night at the St. Thomas Golf & Country Club.

A tremendous thank you to our supporters. Your generosity has already made it possible to gather an incredible selection of silent auction items that will help make the evening one to remember.

Our Gala event will be a celebration of inclusion and the belief that every individual is seen, respected, and celebrated for who they are. Together, we are building a community where people are recognized, supported, welcomed, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

If you would like to attend, please see the ticket link below. Join us for an unforgettable night featuring a performance from Dreams Come True Music Studio, a five-star meal prepared by Jeff Germond and Daniella Germond, inspiring stories of Resolve shared by our MC Jackie Germond Valotaire, and fantastic music to close out the evening from Music Central Entertainment.

There is so much planned for the year ahead, and this evening will help bring those opportunities to life for individuals with disabilities, learning differences, and those who have experienced trauma.

We look forward to celebrating with you and highlighting the positive impact we can create as a community.
