Everybody has wonderful strengths and abilities that can be celebrated! Unfortunately, our society has many negative stereotypes about people with differing abilities. Nearly one in four Americans lives with a disability. It is important that we teach our children at an early age to treat everyone with kindness, love, and dignity.
KIC is partnering with the organization Life Navigators to host a game night where individuals and families from both organizations will come together to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate all abilities!
Activities
KIC families will join our friends at Life Navigators for a family game night. Everyone will be engaged in different types of board games or card games allowing us to get to know each other and celebrate all abilities.
Everyone will share in a pizza dinner and dessert during the event. We would like to encourage families to bring a game to donate to Life Navigators so they can continually provide new and different game options for their consumers. Some suggestions or examples will be emailed upon registration.
Impact
To de-stigmatize the notion of disability in the minds of children and encourage friendships amongst kids of all abilities by supporting our friends at Life Navigators.
