Active Mobility Center says to Emb(race) Everyone

Emb(race) is an event put on by Stand Among Friends at FAU to support diversity.  Active Mobility Center was pleased to support the 4th annual race on February 23rd of 2014. Hundreds of people came out to support this all-inclusive family fun event that features a 5k & 10k walk/run and one mile family walk; all to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.

Their programs help them transition to greater independence; learn work, technology and social skills while emphasizing their talents, interests and education. We help them realize and achieve their career aspirations and widen their social opportunities--so they can experience a meaningful life, both personally and professionally.

Through a comprehensive employment program, state-of-the-art assistive technology program and lab, vocational evaluations and community outreach efforts, Stand Among Friends helps people regain their independence and dignity. Over 1,200 individuals have participated in our programs and we have placed over 500 individuals in active employment.

The Disabilities Center is located on the campus of the Florida Atlantic University in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing in Boca Raton, Florida. The Center, which is designated as a Center of Excellence in the State of Florida University system, coordinates research efforts to develop new approaches, products and services for people with all disabilities.

Thanks to all that came out ad supported this event. Carey Britton, seating and mobility specialist, can be reached at cbritton@wheelchairguys.com or 954-946-5793.
