Pi Kappa Phi’s national philanthropy, The Ability Experience, is focused around creating awareness and raising funds for those with disabilities. Through fundraising and volunteer hours, the organization is able to create a community where the abilities of all people are recognized and valued. During these unprecedented times, the disability community has experienced elevated barriers to access and increased social isolation in their daily lives. Furthermore, many Ability Experience programs have been forced to be canceled and campus closures have greatly reduced fundraising efforts, negatively affecting all partners of the organization.
To adapt to the times, The Ability Experience has organized the inaugural Virtual Ability Week. This includes events ranging from a panel representing the disability community to a virtual fundraising challenge day. Check it out for ways you can participate, abilityexperience.org/programs/virtual-ability-week/.
During these tough times, financial support of the Ability Experience and its partners can go a long way. If you would like to support amazing work this organization does for the disability community each year, we invite you to donate on behalf of our chapter, at https://www.classy.org/team/151746.
We know these are tough times for many, but together we can continue to empower people of all abilities.
