October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

 

The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to  educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and  varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. This year's  theme is "Disability: Part of the Equity Equation."


The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month traces  back to 1945 when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in  October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week." In  1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment  needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities.  In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to  National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

 “Our national recovery from the pandemic cannot be completed without  the inclusion of all Americans, in particular people with disabilities,”  said U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. “Their contributions have  historically been vital to our nation’s success, and are more important  today than ever. We must build an economy that fully includes the talent  and drive of those with disabilities.”  


 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook during October where we will highlight our local employers that provide employment opportunities for adults with disabilities at their business! https://www.instagram.com/exceed_inland_empire/ https://www.facebook.com/EXCEEDInlandEmpire

CDSA Legislative Breakfast

 This is the heartwarming story of Darren O., seen here with his mom Darlene at the 2019 CDSA Legislative Breakfast on Friday January 25th. Congratulations Darren! All of us at EXCEED are very proud of you! 

Jacksonville Jaguars Blair Brown chooses EXCEED as his charity of choice for "My Cause, My Cleats"!

  

"My older brother was born with heart complications and was later diagnosed with autism.  With my cleats, I want to show how much I look up to my older brother and his strength and determination."

More than 800 NFL players will showcase causes that are important to them with custom cleats during all Week 13 games, as part of the NFL's "My Cause, My Cleats" campaign.  

As part of the collaboration between the NFL and players, players  will represent hundreds of charitable organizations that focus on causes  from youth wellness to sex trafficking prevention and support for  single parents.
