Join Blue Cap Family & Friends Association
The Blue Cap Family & Friends Association was formed in the 1970s as the "Parent Association" by families interested in supporting activities for their children receiving services at Blue Cap. Over the years the Parent Association constantly grew in its membership and support to Blue Cap.
Today it operates as the Family and Friends Association. The Family and Friends Association is a large group of parents, siblings, extended families, and friends.
The money raised goes into a restricted Activity Fund which allows people to experience vibrant and meaningful community activities based on personal interests.
Come have fun with us while we support activities for the individuals at Blue Cap. Contact Ellen Boyd at
