Our Mission
The mission of The Laura Foundation is to provide funding to develop and support therapeutic recreation and educational programs that enrich the quality of lives of individuals with autism and/or seizure disorders.
The Center
Thanks to fundraising efforts from grants, donations, and event income significant strides have been taken towards the development of the Laura Center.
Phase 1
Phase 1 of the construction process – modifying an existing building at the site – was completed in Spring 2014. The main building at the Laura Center includes bathrooms, a kitchen facility, increased dedicated space for year-round programming, as well as space for storage. Aside from the main building, an outdoor arena for therapeutic horseback riding has also been completed.
Phase 2,
The construction of a multi-purpose barn, is complete. The barn is a versatile, four-season facility on its own with a climbing wall, a multi-purpose court, adaptive sports equipment, and two horse stalls.
Phase 3
The nine-foot wide, 1,000-linear-foot, paved bicycle path located within the enclosed fence of the facility was finished and in use as of 2019. Phase 3’s final project, the expansion of the existing botanical area (complete with a greenhouse), will be done in the coming year.
