BLOG : March in the Disability Pride NYC Parade

The Disability Pride NYC Parade is coming back to the streets of NY this summer. At Concepts, we are very excited to participate in this important annual event. We invite our Consumers, Personal Assistants, friends and family, and anyone else to march with us at the parade which will take place on Sunday, July 10, 2016. The parade will begin at 11am in Union Square Park, and march up Broadway to Madison Square Park where there will be festival and celebration until 4pm.

The purpose of the parade “is to promote inclusion, awareness, and visibility of people with disabilities, and redefine public perception of disability.”  We couldn't agree more with the value of their mission. Be a part of this monumental experience alongside Concepts of Independence. If you would like to march with us, please send your RSVP to parade@coiny.org, and let us know the names of each participant along with your contact information (email and phone).

*Please note that Concepts is not running the parade. If you want to find out more information about the parade itself, visit disabilitypridenyc.org.
