We Are Almost There! We need to raise less than $15,000 to unlock the complete match of $250,000. To have raised almost $250,000 in such a short time is really a testament to you, our PTN supporters. THANK YOU! Donation link is in our bio. #PTNis24

Meet Diane Petersen, MD. A member of PTN’s Board of Directors featured as a Philanthropic Vanguard in the latest issue of Southbay Magazine. Diane recently retired after 30 years of working in the medical industry as a speech and language pathologist and then as a head and neck surgeon (ENT). In addition to serving on PTN’s Board, Diane serves on the Delta Delta Delta Foundation Board of Trustees. She is very active in the South Bay community and served as a board member and president of Sandpipers. Diane shares, “In these challenging times, charitable work presents an opportunity to bring both your professional and personal skills to helping those in our community every day. We all can make an impact. Anybody at any level can make a difference. I invite everyone to get involved in a local nonprofit and shed light on the work done right here in the South Bay that makes a real difference in people’s lives. As a physician and therapist, I am incredibly impressed by the work PTN is doing to help children reach their fullest potential.” Click the link in our bio to learn more about Diane and why she supports PTN! #PTNis24

We are at 91% of our goal with only 15 days left. Thanks to every single donor who has helped us get to this point!

We need 100 people to donate $100. Will you be one of them? Each donation will be matched 100%.

We’ve received so much generous support thus far and are currently at almost 90% of our campaign goal with four weeks remaining. We appreciate everyone's help in getting us this far!

We have a generous donor who is matching $250,000 in donations until January 31, 2021. We are currently at 75% of our goal - can you help us reach our goal by making a donation of $24? The link to donate is in our bio. #PTNis24
