Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bowling ball rolls down the wooden lane, striking into the pins and clattering them to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whoop and a cheer are let out as the next bowler takes center stage; all this is possible thanks in large part to a $5,000 grant from the M&T Charitable Foundation. The grant was awarded to enhance Arc GLOW\u2019s recreation and respite programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in Genesee, Livingston, and Wyoming counties. Thanks to this generous support, the people served by Arc GLOW are participating in a wide array of inclusive and enriching activities. From bowling nights and movie outings to dining experiences, museum and theater visits, and local festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to create opportunities for joy, connection, and community involvement,\u201d said Jill Pegelow, vice president of Self-Direction and Community Services at Arc GLOW. \u201cM&T Bank\u2019s support plays a huge part in helping us bring these experiences to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arc GLOW has several events on tap in 2025, including: the Self-Advocate All Stars Annual Talent Show fundraiser on April 26; Johnathan Doherty and Gladys Hopper Self-Advocacy Day on May 31; Arc Night at the Ballpark on June 12; Genesee County fair activities; nature walks at Swallow Hollow Trail and outdoor sports and many other community activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArc GLOW\u2019s recreation and respite programs provide meaningful experiences to individuals and their families. We are so appreciative of the support of the M&T Charitable Foundation for making a difference,\u201d Pegelow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arc GLOW\u2019s recreation and respite program provides temporary relief to families from the demands of care giving, which can help reduce overall family stress. This allows families to better meet the needs of their loved ones with a developmental disability. Respite can be provided in the home or out of the home, during the day, evenings or night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
