Organiser's Description
The League was established in 1950. This year marks our 75th Anniversary and the 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
There are over 90,000 people with disabilities in Fort Wayne and another 22,000 in the surrounding counties. As the need for services and programs grows, The League steps up to the challenge. We have over 14 programs and services and serve the 11 counties in Northeast Indiana. We could not do what we do without the support of our community. Thank you for joining us to raise awareness and support for people with disabilities.
Sign up today. Become an individual fundraiser or create a team of fundraisers to make a bigger impact.
Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
