It’s nice to see inclusion get some exposure on national TV!
This Sunday night inclusion champion and recording artist Clay Aiken will
compete in the finals of Celebrity Apprentice, playing for his charity the
National Inclusion Project. While I don’t watch much TV and haven’t seen the
Celebrity Apprentice, I will be tuning in to see the important cause of
inclusion in the national spotlight!
I started my career at KIT right as the Bubel/Aiken
Foundation (it's original name) was getting off the ground in 2003. In fact, they provided generous
funding for our first national conference that same year. Since then we have
collaborated on many projects, like the youth-driven I Am Norm campaign. While
we go about our work a little differently, both of our organizations are
committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of ability, have
access to the typical activities of childhood. Congrats to Clay and the
National Inclusion Project! We are very excited for you and grateful for the
exposure that our cause will get thanks to you! As both of our organizations
know, when kids are included together everyone benefits.
