Helping Children With Special Needs

Cecily's Closet is non-profit founded in March 2010. For 15 years we have provided support and services for children with special needs and their families in San Diego County.
We'd like to thank our dedicated Board of Directors for their leadership and their time. We are proud to say that we completed more than 100 room makeovers for children, shipped thousands of belly bands locally and nationally, and recycled even more medical equipment than we had ever hoped for! Our mission was inspired by the birth of our precious Cecily. We wanted to give back to the community and build support for struggling families.
A special shout out to Emily Dolton, artist, advocate, volunteer extraordinaire. There are no words to thank her for the passion and sweat she poured into Cecily's Closet. Over the years she raised funds, painted and curated more than half of our room makeovers, and was an unwavering support system for me. Another shout out to Beverly S. and Anita Carson. This dynamic duo led our belly band program, and we couldn't have done it without you! And last but not least, to Brien, Noah, Cecily, and Cason, for volunteering your time, supporting the cause, and always advocating for sweet Cecily.
We are excited as we close our doors to be able to make a small contribution to help Rachel Kushner, provide artists with disabilities in San Diego a chance to display their work at Play My Way, the future site of an adaptive recreation and inclusive accessible environment for families of special needs.
This is not the end for us! This is just the beginning of a new chapter. Thank you
