As we bring our 25th Anniversary year to a close and in observance of the UN’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) December 3, 2024, we are re-launching our #WindReachCares Campaign.
Diversity, accessibility and inclusion shouldn’t be difficult. Yet somehow the conversations are difficult, for many of us. However, we know that awareness and education can break down barriers, pave a path for inclusion and show how diversity is really the norm.
WindReach hopes to draw awareness to the UN’s IDPD theme for 2024 “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future.” Our 13 different pins aim to encourage purposeful conversation between family, friends, colleagues, the person next to you in the shopping line, classmates, sports teams, everyone! We all need to be empowered to live an inclusive and equitable life. Having more conversations leads to an increase in awareness. Awareness leads to action. Action brings inclusive, sustainable change.
We are pleased to announce that we have added a new pin to the collection! There are now 13 unique and witty pins that can be worn to help start those difficult conversations.
How to get involved?

Display your pin to show your support! By celebrating all abilities, we change lives together.
