  • Disability Pride started as a day of celebration in 1990—the year that the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law. Since then, recognition has expanded to an entire month of celebration, including parades and other festivities around the country.
  • LET’S MAKE HISTORY by having our largest agency participation ever!!  Bring your family and friends to show their support.
  • RSVP to Martha Younger-White, Senior Vice President, Employment and Rehabilitation at e-mail:martha.younger-white@chicagolighthouse.orgwith your attendance and if anyone else will be coming with you. Be sure to include t-shirt sizes for you and your guests.  If you’d like a Chicago Lighthouse t-shirt to wear at the parade, you must reply by 1p.m., Thursday July 11, 2024.
