Our Story
Denise and Jay Gasmire heard the words that parents fear when their second child, Ty, was 7 months old. Their son was born with serious, life-long disabilities from cerebral palsy and mental retardation. From that moment, everything, including being a parent, looked different.
With their world turned upside down, the Gasmires worked through their grief and accepted their new reality with the help of a support group of parents going through the same experience. Denise and Jay were able to shift their focus from trying to fix what was different about their child and concentrate on helping Ty live the best life he could live.
Denise began the task of seeking services to help Ty. She gathered information that empowered her. Through their experience in helping their son live a quality life, the Gasmires saw firsthand the need for a company to help families travel the road they had forged. Champion Services was born.
Today, Champion Services has grown to 90 employees and runs eight group homes and a successful day program. All of Champion’s home and community services meet the quality and expectation of families who share the same challenges. Champion Services is more than a business; it’s a community where those who are different belong.
Today, Ty is an adult living a quality life at Champion Services. The Gasmires built a business inspired by their love for their son. That same love is felt across the organization to the individuals we care for and the staff that works hard every day to care for them.
