12
00:01:12.806 --> 00:01:19.078
AND THE CHAIR OF THE CAMPAIGN
TOM ZUPANCIC ARE HERE WITH MORE
ON THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE
CAMPAIGN.

13
00:01:19.078 --> 00:01:24.784
GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE
PROGRAM.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> MANY HAVE HEARD OF DAMAR OVER

14
00:01:24.784 --> 00:01:29.956
THE YEARS, 50 YEARS, BUT GIVE US
THAT THUMBNAIL DESCRIPTION OF
THE MODEL AND WHAT DAMAR IS ALL
ABOUT.

15
00:01:29.956 --> 00:01:36.629
>> SURE.
DAMAR IS A LARGE NOT FOR PROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT AGAIN WE'RE ON
OUR 52ND YEAR OF OPERATION, BEEN

16
00:01:36.629 --> 00:01:44.204
PRIVILEGED TO SERVE THE INDIANA
COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT
WE'RE ONE OF THE LARGER

17
00:01:44.204 --> 00:01:51.811
PROVIDERS IN THE MIDWEST.
WE SERVE ABOUT 1500 INDIVIDUALS
WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
AND AUTISM EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND

18
00:01:51.811 --> 00:01:56.716
WE DO THAT WITH ABOUT 1100 STAFF
MEMBERS.
>> WOW.
AMAZING WORK THAT GOES ON THERE.

19
00:01:56.716 --> 00:02:02.522
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS CAPITAL
CAMPAIGN, THIS $21 MILLION
CAMPAIGN.
TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR THIS,

20
00:02:02.522 --> 00:02:10.263
THE DEMAND FOR SERVICES THAT
REALLY EXISTS.
>> YES.
SO YOU KNOW, AFTER 52 YEARS OF

21
00:02:10.263 --> 00:02:17.170
OPERATION, WE FIND OURSELVES
WITH KIND OF UNPRECEDENTED NEEDS
AND CHALLENGES IN OUR
POPULATION.

22
00:02:17.170 --> 00:02:22.308
AND THERE'S SOME REASONS FOR
THAT.
I THINK MOST OF YOUR VIEWERS
HAVE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE

23
00:02:22.308 --> 00:02:29.983
EXPLODING RATE OF AUTISM THAT WE
HAVE.
LESS THAN 19 YEARS AGO, WE WERE
ALARMED BY THE RATE OF 1 IN 200

24
00:02:29.983 --> 00:02:38.024
SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN WERE
DIAGNOSED WITH YOU A IT TISM.
TODAY THAT NUMBER IS 1 IN 68.
AND IF YOU'RE A BOY, IT'S 1 IN

25
00:02:38.024 --> 00:02:43.530
42.
THERE'S SOME OTHER PHENOMENA
THAT'S HAPPENING, PROBABLY YOUR
VIEWERS HAVE ALSO KNOWN ABOUT

26
00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:48.701
THE EXPLOSION OF KIDS ENTERING
THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM, ABUSE
AND NEGLECT.
WHAT THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW IS

27
00:02:48.701 --> 00:02:55.708
ABOUT 30% OF THOSE KIDS HAVE A
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY OR
AUTISM, THAT'S UP FROM 10% JUST
FIVE YEARS AGO.

28
00:02:55.708 --> 00:03:02.582
>> TOM, TALKING ABOUT THE ROAD
TO REMARKABLE, AMBITIOUS
CAMPAIGN, $21 MILLION.
A BIG CHUNK HAS BEEN RAISED.

29
00:03:02.582 --> 00:03:10.023
WHERE DO THINGS STAND?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S POWERFUL, THE PEOPLE WE
SERVE ARE REMARKABLE, THE PEOPLE

30
00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:15.161
THAT SERVE THOSE FOLKS ARE
REMARKABLE.
AND WE NEED MORE REMARKABLE
PEOPLE TO JOIN THE EFFORT.

31
00:03:15.161 --> 00:03:24.103
SO WE'VE RAISED 14 OF THE
$21 MILLION, WE NOW -- WE WERE
AT A WOMEN'S GUILD FUNCTION THE
OTHER NIGHT, BUT ALL OF THAT

32
00:03:24.103 --> 00:03:36.916
MONEY IS GOING INTO DIFFERENT
SILOS TO IMPROVE DAMAR SERVICES
FROM ADULT LIVING TO EARLY
ADMISSION AND EARLY DETECTION OF

33
00:03:36.916 --> 00:03:45.191
THE DISEASE,
.
>> WE SEE SOME GREAT RENDERINGS,
IF YOU WILL, AND VIDEO ON SCREEN

34
00:03:45.191 --> 00:03:52.465
NOW.
8.5 MILL YONDZ TARGETING, DAMAR
VILLAGE AND EXPANSION, IS THAT
MORE FOR THE SENIORS?

35
00:03:52.465 --> 00:03:59.105
>> ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE FACED
WITH THAT WE DIDN'T REALIZE WE
WERE GOING TO BE FACED WITH OVER
THE YEARS IS THE POPULATION OF

36
00:03:59.105 --> 00:04:06.679
INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITY AND AUTISM ARE REALLY
GLOWING
GROWING OLDER, LIVING LONGER,

37
00:04:06.679 --> 00:04:12.685
WHEREAS WE WILL LIVE ALMOST
2 YEARS OLDER THAN OUR PARENTS
DID.
FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT,

38
00:04:12.685 --> 00:04:18.691
THAT INCREASE IN YEARS IS ABOUT
6 TO 7 YEARS.
SO YOU COUPLE THAT ALONG WITH
ALREADY A LOW INCOME HOUSING

39
00:04:18.691 --> 00:04:25.598
CRISIS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY AND
CERTAINLY HERE IN INDIANA AND IN
MARION COUNTY, THERE ARE REAL
CHALLENGES AHEAD OF US.

40
00:04:25.598 --> 00:04:35.675
>> BUT ALSO $3 MILLION IN THIS
CAMPAIGN FOR AUTISM SERVICES,
VERY INTERESTING CAMPAIGN,
21 MILLIONED, THE ROAD TO

41
00:04:35.675 --> 00:04:36.676
REMARKABLE, JIM DALTON, CEO
