Unable to talk or hear, he brought an indescribable richness to those he met through acts of kindness and his contagious smile. He attended Elwyn, a unique non-profit organization that provides services to those with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities. Elwyn is in desperate need to replace their aging infrastructure and the Ski-a-thon will raise funds for a new school in Teddy\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 2017 Teddy Bedrossian Ski-A-Thon is just a few weeks away.
