Help the Chai Center Win a Car for Children With Special Needs

Ariella's Friendship Circle, a program run out of the Chai Center in Dix Hills, is vying for votes in order to win Toyota's 100 Cars for Good challenge.

The Friendship Circle's unique approach brings together teenage volunteers and children with special needs for hours of fun and companionship. These shared experiences empower children with special needs, while enriching the lives of everyone else involved.

The group is competing to win a Toyota Prius on Tuesday, July 24, which will enable local teens to have a means of getting to and from the program when parents aren't available to drive them.
