Young self-advocates from the CPD’s Becoming Leaders of Tomorrow program have organized Utah's first Disability Pride Parade in conjunction with the Special Olympic Utah’s Opening Ceremonies.
Those who wish to join them and other people with disabilities, their family members and supporters, should meet across from the Huntsman Arena at the University of Utah’s LDS Institute. The march will start at 6:15 pm on Friday, October 15, and end inside the Huntsman Arena. A celebration begins there at 7 p.m.
The evening ends with a dance with Special Olympics Utah at 8 pm outside the LDS Institute.
Organizers encourage those who participate to make their own signs and banners and to spread the word.
