United Spinal Association will host the #StrongWheeled Together Celebration on November 10 at 6:30 pm EST, a virtual member awards gala to celebrate a new generation of leaders from the disability community that are erasing the stigmatization of wheelchair users, advocating for inclusion, and advancing their abilities to reach new levels of success.
The event is the culmination of the organization's 2022 #StrongWheeled Together campaign, that highlights the power of community building and the impact of people with disabilities throughout society.
"On November 10th, our community—including some of its most venerable leaders—will come together for a one-of-a-kind virtual event to celebrate the advent of a new generation of trailblazers paving the way for people with spinal cord injuries and disorders [SCI/D] and all wheelchair users. We invite everyone to join us to recognize the talent and the work of our vibrant community—and ally with us in empowering our community and building a more inclusive world," said Vincenzo Piscopo, president and CEO of United Spinal Association.
The #StrongWheeled Together Celebration will recognize the accomplishments of individuals living with SCI/D and all wheelchair users in entrepreneurship and innovation, youth activism and community organizing, the visual arts, the performing arts, and sports and recreation. Read More…
