The 4th annual “A Just Cause” craft and art show will be held September 10th and 11th at a new location this year – Island Park, Blossburg.

Organized by Barb Sargent of Mansfield to help support “Partners In Progress” located in Mansfield PA. Established in 1997, Partners In Progress is a private, not-for-profit corporation and, one of the most comprehensive service providers to teens and adults with intellectual and other disabilities in Tioga County. It also provides job-skills training, supported employment, and day programs to over 100 people with disabilities at locations throughout the community.

Barb’s brother Danny who has Downs Syndrome, is one of the individuals who benefits from their services having been employed at the facility and now, living in one of the local group homes. Her father,Clifford Slater was a founding member and had served on the board for 16 years so, Partners In Progress is a special place to her and her family.

“I will continue volunteering with Partners In Progress and A Just Cause for as long as I can” Barb states.  “My sister Lorraine Pollock and brother Gary Slater along with my son Steven, help me with this event, along with many others who share my love for the organization and the individuals it serves”.
