Raise money for Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region
ALL PLEDGES TO:
Since 1980, EAFWR (www.eafwr.on.ca) has worked side-by-side with family and the community to promote inclusion and serve individuals with development and physical disabilities. Our vision of serving recognizes the individual’s right to determine what a meaningful life looks like with our role to offer support and resources to ensure a life that is fulfilling, resilient, independent and self-directed. Today, we partner with almost 2,000 families throughout Waterloo Region.
Gift Allocation:
All funds raised as part of this year's race will benefit Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region's I Choose Dignity initiative. Begun four years ago, I Choose Dignity maintains its simple purpose: engage the community in an ongoing dialogue about belonging and inclusion. Through collaborations with different partners that speak to Waterloo Region's diverse community, the I Choose Dignity movement has grown to include:
- The annual Count Me In Rally sees more than 300 people walk through Kitchener in a celebration of community diversity. Powerful speakers, entertainers and community leaders join individuals and families at Kitchener City Hall for an evening of celebration and inspiration.
- The Inclusion Celebration honours businesses and individuals who have made a significant contribution to building inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Past recipients include Dolphin Digital and Fertile Ground Farms. This year's recipients include former mayors Brenda Halloran and Carl Zehr.
- I Choose Dignity in the Classroom connects with students in grades 1 through 3 during a five-week program that celebrates each child's unique gifts and talents. Through self-discovery, the program creates a deep and lasting conversation amongst children around the beauty of inclusion.
Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region's I Choose Dignity movement would simply not be possible without the community's support - and it is deeply appreciated.
