GREELEY,
Colo., June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Rocky Mountain ADA Center
(RMADAC), a member of the National Network of ADA Centers, is
pleased to announce it will be exhibiting at Denver PrideFest 2024
and Thornton, CO Pride Day this
June. Denver PrideFest takes place June
22-23, 2024 and Thornton Pride Day takes place June 29, 2024.
During the events, members of the RMADAC team will be managing
booths at both events. They will be answering questions about the
Americans with Disabilities Act and distributing free information
about the ADA to event attendees with the goal of raising awareness
on how the center can assist them if they ever have questions about
the civil rights law that protects all Coloradans. An estimated 1/5
people identify with a disability in the
United States (according to the CDC).
"We are absolutely thrilled to participate in both the
Denver and Thornton pride events," said Emily Shuman, Director of the Rocky Mountain ADA
Center. "Having an opportunity to
represent the center during these highly celebrated gatherings is
critical in our mission to support anyone who has questions about
their rights under ADA. We are here to help and are hopeful to make
many new connections during June to ensure that everyone has access
to our team who can assist with all ADA related items." "We
encourage all attendees to stop by our booths and say hello while
taking some information with them so they always know how to
connect with your amazing team."
