One person can make a difference!

Join us on November 3rd to help raise funding for the Augmentative Communication Program that will make certain EVERYONE has a voice through the use of state-of-the-art equipment and the MOVE (Mobility Opportunities Via Education) Program that is changing lives by getting children out of their wheelchairs and into specialized equipment that has them standing and taking steps!

Take this opportunity to enjoy a morning walk with your family and friends and raise funds at the same time! We can have fun together and raise funds that will make a profound difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities!

Your fundraising efforts can quickly add up toward our goal of $71,000 as CP Nassau enters its 71st year of assisting individuals with disabilities!

Funds raised through the 2019 5K Walk/Run/Roll/Stroll will make a difference:

The Augmentative Communication Program at the Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County utilizes state-of-the-art technology to make certain that EVERYONE has a voice!  The funds you raise will help to purchase devices and equipment that provide a way for children and adults to communicate!  In addition, the MOVE (Mobility Opportunities Via Education) Program will benefit from funding to purchase specialized custom equipment to get children out of their wheelchairs and standing and taking steps!  The use of this equipment on a daily basis by students in the program is creating progress each week - some children are actually walking independently!  See what your funds can do!  WOW!
