Manhattan, KS – No Stone Unturned Foundation is proud to announce the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the new, state-of-the-art No Stone Unturned Therapeutic Learning Center, an integrated, collaborative therapy facility for children with a wide range of challenges, disabilities, and delays. The event will take place on Friday, November 15, 2024, at 4:30 pm, followed by a reception and tours of the facility.
Since opening in its first location in 2012, No Stone Unturned has experienced significant growth year over year, demonstrating the immense need for specialized services for children of all abilities in Manhattan and surrounding communities. With over 200 children on the waiting list and no more space to grow, the No Stone Unturned Board of Directors determined a larger, customized, and multi-functional space was vital to not only meet the current needs but also increase the service offering.
Members from the community, city officials, board members, donors, and vendors will join together in celebration with opening comments from Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO, Jason Smith, and appreciation remarks from Founder, Dr. Melinda Wolford.
“Through our own trials with our exceptional child, Stone, my family and I wanted to bring our gifts together to create a place where families could come for HOPE. A place where caregivers work tirelessly and lovingly to bring services to our community’s children in need. We are thankful for our village: Our therapists, supporters, board members, leadership teams, and volunteers who make No Stone Unturned a continued reality, and we are humbled and proud of what this new facility means for the future of the organization.” – Founder, Melinda Wolford stated.
The $8M ”No Need Unmet” Capital Campaign is currently raising funds to complete payment of the new facility, located at 4761 Tuttle Creek Blvd. in Manhattan, KS. Construction began following the July 20, 2023, groundbreaking ceremony. The new facility boasts feeding kitchens, training restrooms, sensory gyms, private rooms, open treatment zones, group classrooms, large physical therapy and multi-function gyms, and much more.
Kelly Keogh, Executive Director of the No Stone Foundation stated, “The new No Stone Unturned Pediatric Therapy Center is truly a blessing to Manhattan and all the surrounding communities. Our current center has seen children from over 25 counties in Kansas, as it is a truly unique model of collaborative care. The overarching goal is ensuring all parents, caretakers, and community members are able to satisfy a universal and all-consuming mission - providing our children every opportunity to reach their greatest potential and a happy, fulfilled life.”
No Stone Unturned and the Foundation is located in Manhattan, Kansas, and has 50 employees. Historically, it has seen approximately 300 children per year, and the new facility promises to more than double that capacity. To learn more about No Stone and their work visit their website here.
