Parent Plus, Inc.

from our founder ...

Life is as varied as the people we meet. Parent Plus has been involved with families from every walk of life. Each circumstance is different but all have one thing in common - loss or illness of a parent, loved one or other close family member.

Over the past two years we have connected with over fifty families and counselors and offered programs in gymnastics, theater, soccer camps, tutoring and much more.

There is still the pain of loss, the grief, and longing for a loved one. But time marches on, and so must we. Those who once stood alongside us are still in our hearts, cheering us on as we continue shared pursuits, or take on new challenges.

“One of the strongest influences in my life was gymnastics coach Chuck Luttinger, who provided guidance and support for many years. My mom died when I was 10 and I headed down the wrong road, and Coach Luttinger was there to show me a better way. Even though I did not always take his advice, he found a way to take me back in the gym. Over the next seven years he took the time to teach me how to overcome adversity, how to set and achieve goals, and how to strengthen the mind and body. Even today, over thirty years later, his leadership and the sport of gymnastics still play a very important role in my life. In fact, it wasn't until many years had passed, did I realize how important Coach had been to me.“
