CPress - April 2018

April 2018

We had a great time recognizing and celebrating Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month in March. We capped it off by having an amazing party on March 25th, National CP Awareness Day, with our friends at the SW YMCA . There were over 100 kids in attendance at our full inclusion party!

You can continue to promote CP awareness all year round. Here are some basic ideas that you can implement on a daily basis.

Promote inclusion and set up events with full accessibility. If you need ideas, ask us how!
"Just say Hi" (click here for video!) Talk to the person with the disability, not around them. “Just Say Hi” campaign was created by the Cerebral Palsy Foundation.
VOLUNTEER!!! We have many events through out the year and coming up this month. Reach out to CPATH for opportunities, ideas, workshops, assistance and support. We've got you covered!

CPATH is honored to sponsor a screening of the documentary:

The inspiring story of Nissi Salazar, a young Texas woman with cerebral palsy, who dared to challenge norms and expectations and compete in the rigorous Tough Mudder race. Follow her journey in this brilliant documentary by Toalson Films.
