🎉 Thank you, MCC! 🎉

MCC is hosting the second annual Disability Pride Event of McHenry County on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This celebration highlights the beauty, diversity, and lived experiences of people with disabilities. Following a successful inaugural event last year on the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the MCC Occupational Therapy Assistant program worked diligently to bring this year's celebration directly to our campus.

Organizers are seeking participants to get involved in one of three ways.
• First, performers from the disability community are invited to take the stage. Past participants have included musicians, singers, and comedians.
• Second, local disabled entrepreneurs, artists, and small business owners are invited to participate as vendors, sharing and selling their crafts, jewelry, artwork, or services.
• Third, local nonprofit organizations that serve the disability community are welcome to reserve a table to market their services and connect with area residents.

Current students, local business owners, and community organizations can secure a spot by completing this participant sign-up form: http://mcc-link.me/cKTL50Z6T6z
