2018 Campaign : Dancing through the decades - experience live musical performance
Many individuals with developmental disabilities do not have the same access to artistic and cultural experiences. We are developing a fund for our day program to be able to offer opportunities to experience a wide range of live musical performances.
About National Development Disabilities Awareness Month
March is recognized as National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. In honor of the people we support, Endless Options, Inc. is holding our 6th annual Ability 5K - Walk, Run, & Roll on March 24, 2018. We need your help to raise awareness. We can help remind others of this important celebration during Development Disabilities Awareness Month by sharing these important facts:
- Developmental disabilities are a natural part of the human experience and affect about 45 million Americans and their families.
- All people with developmental disabilities can be productive, contributing members of their communities.
- Many people with developmental disabilities rely on publicly funded services and supports in order to fully participate in community life.
- During times of economic decline, essential services and supports for people with developmental disabilities are often threatened.
- The power of people with disabilities is strongest when their voices are united with each other and their friends, families, and other allies.
