​

Friends of Infant Toddler Services (FITS) is a non-profit group dedicated to fundraising in support of families and programs offered through Infant Toddler Services of Johnson County (ITSJC). The dedicated team of ITSJC therapists provides a full range of assistive services to help caregivers and providers in the comfort of the child’s natural home and environment at no cost to eligible families.

About Our Annual Fundraiser

Early intervention in the lives of children with developmental delays and disabilities is key to a child’s improved outcome and the overall wellness of the entire family. Last year, our team supported more than 2,000 families in Johnson County with needed equipment, training for therapists, and social development events. With your fundraising support last year, our annual fundraising events raised a total of nearly $100,000 in gross proceeds!

This year the need is even greater to support our kids and families during this chaotic time. While we have made the difficult decision to consolidate from three fundraising events to one virtual event, our annual Sneaker Ball is necessary to serve the needs of families enrolled in Infant Toddler Services of Johnson County.

While so much has changed this year, a few things remain the same.

• Our Sneaker Ball gala will be held on Saturday, November 7th.

• The event will feature a Live & Silent Auction and a Fund-A-Need

• The funds raised at this event will be strategically used to support the children, their families and professional development opportunities for the ITSJC therapists.

Tickets are available now!
