Congratulations to this year's recipients of the Donald J. Sykes Award, including Lauren Brown, who was nominated by The Arc of Atlantic County. Lauren is a wonderful example of someone who cares about others and gives back to her community. In addition to her work at Wawa, Inc., Lauren volunteers at her church and The Arc Makes Cents Thrift Shop. She also created a social group for young adults with disabilities, which averages 20-30 people each month! We are so proud of Lauren and all that she's accomplished.

Advocacy in action! 📣 This decision is of critical importance going into the November election for the 5 million Texas voters with disabilities and the millions of Americans around the country who require assistance to vote and would otherwise be disenfranchised. Per Katy Neas, CEO for The Arc of United States, "It's a message to any state trying to suppress people's voting rights that all voters are entitled to be counted and have their voices heard." You can be a champion for disability rights by becoming a member of The Arc of Atlantic County. Join now at https://lnkd.in/ehG-NYsH.
