The Arc in Massachusetts has kicked off its annual All Aboard The Arc! Awareness Campaign. The campaign culminates in a ride-a-thon and rally on Saturday, May 18, 2013, a fundraising event where individuals and teams can pledge to raise money for chapters of The Arc in Massachusetts. Afterward, riders and supporters will unite in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center for a celebratory concert and rally featuring performances by teen pop star and anti-bullying advocate Gabbie Rae and the band Flame, made up of musicians with disabilities, which was recently featured in People Magazine.
All Aboard The Arc! is a statewide celebration event for individuals, families and the greater community to show support and solidarity to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
