The Gift of Giving: Supporting the Children’s Therapy Center
This April, we’re excited to highlight a truly inspiring organization that has been making a profound impact in our community for over 75 years—the Children’s Therapy Center (CTC).
For decades, CTC has been at the forefront of providing life-changing physical, occupational, speech, and feeding therapies to children with developmental disabilities and delays across eastern Iowa and western Illinois. The services they provide are nothing short of transformative, helping children reach milestones that many of us take for granted, like taking their first steps, using their voices more confidently, or even strengthening the muscles in their mouths for eating.
One of the most remarkable things about CTC is their commitment to ensuring every child who needs therapy receives it, regardless of their family’s financial situation. In fact, the center’s mission is built around a simple but powerful belief: All children deserve the chance to reach their fullest potential. Whether a family can afford it or not, CTC provides the care and therapy that these children need to lead more independent, healthier lives. It’s this dedication that has made the Children’s Therapy Center a pillar of hope in our community.
As CTC’s team shares, “Children who receive needed therapy services at a young age have a much greater chance of becoming independent and productive adults. Entire communities benefit when children receive the services they need to achieve their highest level of independence.”
These early interventions can be life-changing—not just for the child, but for their families and for the communities they grow up in. Imagine the joy of seeing a child take their first step, say their first word, or finally eat on their own after months of struggle. These are the kind of milestones that CTC helps children achieve every day, and they are not just moments of personal triumph—they are life-altering events that open up new possibilities for these children’s futures.
A Long-Standing Partnership
At Necker’s Jewelers, we’ve had the privilege of supporting the Children’s Therapy Center since 2003. We are proud to have built a long-standing partnership with this incredible organization, and we are continually inspired by the difference they make in the lives of children and families across our region. Through our ongoing collaboration, a portion of the proceeds from every purchase made at our DeWitt and Davenport locations goes directly to supporting CTC and the children who rely on their services during the month of April.
We believe that businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities that support them, and we are honored to play a role in helping CTC continue its vital work. Whether you’re purchasing a gift for a loved one or treating yourself to something special, your support goes beyond the transaction; it becomes part of a larger effort to improve the lives of children in need.
How You Can Get Involved
We encourage you to visit the Children’s Therapy Center’s website at www.ctcqc.org to learn more about the incredible work they’re doing, and to explore ways you can get involved. Whether you’re interested in making a donation, volunteering your time, or simply spreading the word about their services, every little bit helps. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of these children and their families.
At Necker’s, we believe in the power of community, and we are incredibly proud to support the Children’s Therapy Center as they continue their mission to help children reach their fullest potential. Together, let’s continue to make a difference—one step, one word, one achievement at a time.
