%\ 0$5,66$ 6:($7/$1' 6WDII :ULWHU Rhyme and Reason Ministry, a nonprofit organization that supports individuals with physical, mental and emotional challenges, is hosting a fundraiser to fund the construction of a new building in Lakeville. Rhyme and Reason, located in South Bend, was founded in October 2012 by Courtney Lane, who is the program manager, and Barbara Kampa. Since then, it has been helping clients build skills that will help them build a better life. The event, “A Joyful Heart Comedy Night,” will take place at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, at the St. Joseph Community Center’s
Leighton Auditorium, 304 S. Main St., South Bend. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $45 per ticket and tables of six can be reserved for $248. Tickets can be purchased on its website, rhymeandreason.net/ajoyfulheartfunraiser. The event will feature the sibling comedy duo of Julie and Derrick Tennant. The duo is known for their unique fusion of comedy and motivation, which leaves audiences inspired and uplifted. The duo is presented by the Love Chromosome, an organization that promotes inclusivity and awareness about Down syndrome and other special needs. For the new building, Rhyme and Reason is planning a
fully-accessible 83-acre campus equipped with hiking trails, ponds, and private cabins for peaceful retreats. These features will serve as a haven for individuals with diverse needs, fostering personal growth, community connection, and skill development. The construction also includes a versatile event center and a main house, which will serve as Rhyme and Reason’s headquarters. “With the new building, we will be able to provide tons of new opportunities for both clients and employees,” Kampa, chief executive officer, explained. “Our attendance numbers go up every year, so extra space is needed.” Rhyme and Reason is benefi-
cial for people from all walks of life, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities; people with emotional, behavioral and mental health challenges; foster youth aged 5-18 years, including those reunified with their original family; emancipated foster youth age 18-26 years; adopted youth age 5-26 years; and anyone who seeks to address debilitating conditions through whole-person practices. “Rhyme and Reason follows the person-centered approach to support our clients,” Kampa mentioned “By identifying the client’s values and experiences, we are able to help build skills that will help them in life.” Confidence grows and flourishes in
the safe and supportive environment Rhyme and Reason has created. “We strive to improve our client’s independence, personal fulfillment and overall quality of life,” Kampa said. Rhyme and Reason clinicians work with clients to develop individualized behavioral support plans, which utilizes a combination of theoretical models from classical conditioning and cognitive therapy. Its methods are backed by recent scientific data. It accepts traditional Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance.
