2020 marks the
30th Anniversary of the passage of the landmark civil rights legislation, the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. Due to social distancing guidelines many celebrations have been canceled or scaled back to virtual online events. Drawing from the past, we invite our supporters, members, and stakeholders to experience a
"Drive-In Theatre” and join us for an unforgettable ADA 30th Anniversary celebration!

Disability:IN North Carolina decided to get creative to mark this momentous occasion in an engaging manner. Drawing from the past, we invite our supporters, members, and stakeholders to experience a
“Drive-In Theatre” and join us for an unforgettable ADA 30th Anniversary celebration!
Disability:IN North Carolina is hosting a screening of the award-winning documentary film,
“Lives Worth Living” (directed by Eric Neudel and produced by Alison Gilkey) on
July 23, 2020 from 6:00 pm to 10:15 pm at the Legrand Center in Shelby, NC. We are grateful to
Wells Fargo and the
Diverse Abilities Team Member Network, their Employee Resource Group (ERG) for being the corporate sponsors of this ADA celebration. The celebration will also feature guest speakers, musicians with disabilities, and food trucks! Participants will be able to enjoy an evening under the stars and celebrate the ADA from their cars or favorite lawn chair, in support of social distancing guidelines.
Due to generous donations, the ADA Celebration is free to all participants. Advance registration is required and will close at 9:00am on July 23, 2020.
If inclement weather causes a delay or reschedule of the event, we will notify registrants via e-mail as soon as possible.
