Getting ready for the annual AHRC Foundation Walk
The annual AHRC Foundation Walk is right around the corner. Citizens families, people supported, staff members, peer advocates, and supporters are invited to join the Walk on Sunday, October 25, at Eisenhower Park.
Each year, our community comes together for an incredible day supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Long Island. Last year, more than 1,100 walkers and 100 teams raised over $95,000 through the event.
For Citizens Options Unlimited families, the Walk is especially meaningful because support from the AHRC Foundation directly strengthens programs and services that impact the lives of the people we support every day.
In recent years, the Foundation has provided significant financial support to help address staffing challenges, operational needs, aging facilities, and recreations opportunities across Citizens programs and homes.
The Walk is also a wonderful opportunity for families, staff members, friends, and supporters to come together as one community in support of a shared mission.
Be a part of the Walk! Start a team, join a team, or donate today!
