RISE to the Top
Join us Sunday, June 15, 2025 for an inspiring run or hike up the Grouse Grind to support LDS’ transformative work creating bright futures for neurodivergent children and youth.
Together, let’s move and make a difference on this day of wellness, community building, empowerment, and inclusion.
Why Support LDS?
Like you, we believe that all children and youth deserve to have access to expert, specialized learning support, regardless of their financial circumstances. Thanks to generous supporters like you, LDS continues to provide the highest calibre of research-informed individualized education to individuals ages 3 – adult with learning differences.
When you support LDS, you are helping learners achieve lifelong independence, confidence, and success.
When you join us for this inspiring day, you support LDS’ Bright Futures Bursary Fund, which provides crucial, life-transforming learning and social-emotional support for neurodivergent learners.
Learn more about ways to have your company and team partner with us as a bright futures builder.
