Inclusion in Prime Time

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.
