Light the Way

Thank you to 2010 St. David's Center Gala Honorary Co-Chairs John and Candace Randle for sharing their family's story with us as part of the Light-the-Way program.

View the story of how their son, Jonathan, benefitted from early childhood education, pediatric therapy and inclusion services -- where children of all abilities learn side-by-side, at St. David's Center.
