We want to give a HUGE thank you to The Disability Network for donating 15 brand new laptops to support the students of The Crave Academy! 💜💚🧡

Because of this incredible contribution, our students will now have more opportunities to:
✨ Practice typing and computer literacy skills
✨ Learn how to send professional emails
✨ Build resumes and cover letters
✨ Complete online job applications
✨ Explore career interests and educational opportunities
✨ Practice interview preparation
✨ Learn digital communication and workplace skills
✨ Build confidence using technology independently

Access to technology is such an important part of preparing students for independence, employment, and adulthood, and this donation helps open so many doors for the young people we serve.

We are beyond grateful for your support, generosity, and belief in our students’ potential. THANK YOU for investing in their futures and helping us continue to create meaningful opportunities for youth and young adults with disabilities throughout our community. 💜💚🧡

Join us for Breaking Barriers Day: A celebration of Michigan's disability community

Join us at the Lansing Shuffle on June 23, 2026, for the opening reception of the Breaking Barriers Art Exhibit. Artwork by artists with developmental disabilities from across Michigan will be featured in the exhibit.

After the art reception, you are invited to join us at Jackson Field for a sensory-friendly baseball game. Attendees will enjoy an accessible, inclusive ballpark experience.

The Lansing Lugnuts have made efforts to accommodate fans with sensory sensitivities, including reducing announcements, PA volume, graphics, and promotions. This sensory-friendly experience is part of their commitment to making baseball accessible and enjoyable for all.

Breaking Barriers Day is about bringing people together in a way that is welcoming, engaging, and inclusive. Register today and be part of a celebration that highlights creativity, builds community, and creates space for every voice.
