Celebrating Inclusive Community Initiatives
Supporting Rowan Tree Collective's Monthly Birthday Parties

We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Rowan Tree Collective, a nonprofit organization in Thunder Bay that supports adults with Autism and other neuro-diversities through inclusive programming.

On the last Thursday of every month, Rowan Tree throws a joyous and fun-filled celebration for all the birthdays that occurred the month prior. The June party was a blast, packed with delicious food, a groovy theme, music, dancing, and many laughs.

As their incredible 80s-themed poster says, “Difference is our greatest strength.”, we at Sarjeants could not agree more. We deeply value including those with all abilities in our cherished communities, enriching our society, and strengthening our bonds.

Thank you to the fantastic team at Rowan Tree for all you do to help such a wonderfully unique group of individuals live their best lives. Keep up the great work and fabulous activities.

For the next year, Serjeants is honored and excited to sponsor all monthly birthday parties at Rowan Tree so they can keep the good times rolling!
