AHRC New York City organized its inaugural “Moving Together for Change” fundraiser for October 3 at Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City. The community walk was designed to bring together people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families, friends, staff, and neighbors to support inclusion and opportunities across New York City.

AHRC NYC is a partner of the Disability Employment Policy Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) at Syracuse University’s Burton Blatt Institute. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing employment opportunities and economic participation for people with disabilities.

The fundraiser supports education, job training and employment assistance, camps and recreation, clinical services, and housing with dedicated staff support. These programs help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities pursue their goals and participate fully in their communities.
