The Caswell Center Foundation describes several ways it enhances resident life. Recent contributions include a wheelchair accessible golf cart to enable campus tours, the development of Harmony Park as a clinical and recreational space, funding for life experiences such as snow tubing trips to Beech Mountain and holiday celebrations at Busch Gardens Christmas Town, and specialized therapeutic equipment like rockers to ease discomfort for residents with chronic pain. Participation in the event is presented as a way to support those services and programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
