Celebrating Independence & Raising Awareness

As we approach our 50th anniversary, we are celebrating independence and raising awareness for disability inclusion. Purple Week honors the collective efforts of our donors, volunteers, staff, and consumers. It promotes the understanding that disability is broad and inclusive, and we are all working toward a world where everyone with a disability can live independently and thrive.

We invite you to join us at the events we are hosting throughout the week. Fill out the form below for more information or to RSVP.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
