Hello! My name is Robin Kane, and I am a co-founder of I’m Possible Games Cafe!

I’m Possible Games Cafe is a nonprofit board game café established to build a community of acceptance, encouragement and awareness for individuals of special abilities. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for employment growth, support, and socialization; to build a community where everyone will Come for the Games and Stay for the Smiles.

My husband, Michael, and I have lived in Avon for 27 years, raised our four children here, and are now working to start a nonprofit in Avon or a surrounding community.

Our youngest child, Shelby, participated in the special education program in the Avon school district since she was in preschool, age 3. We came to realize after she graduated that when special education students leave high school, they lose all access to the people who have meant so much to their lives for so many years. Their teachers, administrators and classmates are no longer there for them each day. Their socialization is disappears.

With this in mind we have decided to start a nonprofit board game café with the purpose of bringing jobs to the area for individuals, like Shelby, with special abilities. There are so few employment opportunities for these individuals and yet they have so much to offer. If you have ever had the chance to spend time with someone with special abilities you would understand how much they have to offer all of us. We hope that one day soon you will all be able to join us in a place of our own, and as our slogan says; Come for the Games, Stay for the Smiles.

We are currently looking for a permanent location, but until that time comes we will be hosting game nights (or afternoons) in local churches and businesses that will provide a room for us. These events will be free and no registration is required. We will have an assortment of games for all ages. Please consider joining us for one or all of our events. Bring your friends and family or come alone and make some new friends. Either way it will be fun.

You can follow us on FB and IG to keep up to date on our events and our progress.

If you are feeling inspired by our story, we would love to have your support! As a nonprofit we will be accepting donations, and hosting fundraisers. All kinds of donations are needed, from big to small; we appreciate your help in any way possible. We understand if you are unable to financially support this project and ask for your support by spreading the word! We thank you in advance for your consideration of any donations.

We hope to see you soon at I’m Possible Games Cafe!
