Try On A Disability – With a Special Twist!

April 9, 2015 by Zosia

We will be holding a “Try On A Disability ” event later this year – an event with a special twist!

Several prominent able-bodied members of the Langley community have agreed to remain confined to a wheelchair for 12 hours! That is a huge commitment on their part to help support our cause.

Their days will be individually recorded on video by aspiring filmmakers from Kwantlen Community College. That’s also a huge commitment.

At our annual “Day of Pos-Abilities” in Langley on July 11, 2015, the volunteers will speak about their experiences and the student winner of the best video will be awarded a scholarship to be used to further his or her education, or to pay for necessary equipment.

Below are links to two information and application packages: one for The Challengers, complete with Pledge Forms, and one for the Student Filmmakers. Here they are:

Sponsorship

We need some businesses to step up and sponsor the scholarships for these young filmmakers. Sponsoring a scholarship is always a positive thing for any business. If you are someone, or if you know someone, who would be willing, please contact Zosia or any Board member. A sponsorship package is at this link:
