About Us

I’m Possible Games (IPG) is a nonprofit organization established to assist individuals with intellectual disabilities connect with the community around them.  We are working to bridge the gap from adolescence to adulthood, with an interactive board game business.  Our goal is to bring jobs to the area for individuals with special abilities because, when given an opportunity to develop these men and women with special abilities can shine. We hope that one day soon you will be able to join us at “I’m Possible Games” i n a place of our own, and as our slogan says; “Come for the Games, Stay for the Smiles”.

Why was this non-profit started? Robin and Michael Kane have lived in Avon for over 29 years, and raised their four children there. Their youngest child, Shelby, has participated in the special education program since she started preschool at age 3. When Shelby graduated from high school it soon became apparent to Robin and Michael that once an individual with special needs leaves the education system, all the safe guards that were put in place for them go away. There are no more special education classes or unified sports. When students leave high school they lose all access to the people who have meant so much to their lives for so many years. What we are left with is an individual who could contribute to society, but they are not being given the opportunity. We want to change that.

With this in mind, Robin & Michael have the goal of opening a permanent board game café in Avon to bring jobs to individuals, like Shelby, with Special Abilities. There are so few employment opportunities for these individuals, 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 teach of us. Robin and Michael will say they have learned more from Shelby than she has learned from them.

We are grateful for any support, no matter how big or small. Every contribution makes a difference. Every volunteer makes a difference, and every person helping us spread the word will make a difference too. Please consider donating or joining us at one of our events. We will make sure everyone knows where we are located once we are in our own permanent home. We thank you for your help in spreading the word about our mission!
