The Karl Morris Society is Life Unlimited’s premier annual giving network. It honors a legacy that spans decades, established community-based services for people with developmental disabilities, and allowed three storied organizations to form what is now the largest program of its kind in our region. We are excited to build upon Karl’s legacy and extend this opportunity to immortalize your status as a champion for disability services.
This group recognizes every donor who gives $1,000 or more to Life Unlimited within a fiscal year, from July 1 through June 30.
There is no need to sign up! Donors who give $1,000 or more within a fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) will receive an invitation to the Karl Morris Society Brick Dedication and Manor Tour in the fall. Gifts to any area of the organization qualify and include donations to the Annual Appeal, DSP fund, and Sarah Oyen Classic, as well as Hats Off To Mothers ticket purchases (the tax-deductible portion), online auction purchases, cash, matching gifts and gifts through consortiums such as the United Way.
Join this distinguished group of donors and share in a commitment to Life Unlimited’s mission with your cumulative gift of $1,000 or more. Your collective generosity reverberates through our services, and your annual gift will ensure a life unlimited for people with disabilities for years—and generations—to come.
From the day I started these programs, I’ve thought: If you can live in the world of possibility, you can create unpredictable results, and good things will start to happen for the people you serve. That happened—in a big way.” — Karl Morris
He saw a need, and he met it with swift, unselfish action. Today, more than 700 individuals and their families benefit from Life Unlimited’s array of services, which include:
Karl, as humble as ever, references others’ triumphs among his proudest moments. More than 20 employees who worked under Karl’s leadership have gone on to become CEOs or executive directors of local and national disability organizations, further entrenching his impact and galvanizing the disability community as an unstoppable force.
In 30+ years as executive director, Karl Morris:
Karl Morris lifts others up. He is a selfless leader who truly believes small acts can make the biggest difference. He is the real deal and a model representative for our giving society—a circle of compassionate individuals that, as it expands, will envelop and open doors for people with disabilities.
