SUMMARY:Opportunities Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Wake Up to Make a Difference!\nThe Arc of Loudoun’s Opportunities Breakfast features a fast-paced program that includes networking\, updates from organizational leadership\, and powerful stories directly from the people whose lives are impacted by our work. There is no cost to attend\, and breakfast is complimentary. \nGifts made during the Opportunities Breakfast directly support The Arc’s mission to advocate for\, educate\, serve\, and support more than 5\,000 people with disabilities and their families each year across our region. \nDress: Business Casual \nRegister to Attend or Sponsor! \n\nWhy Should Guests Attend?\nDisability touches every community. \n\nOne in four adults in the United States has some type of disability\, and one in 36 children is diagnosed with autism (CDC).\nAccording to the 2022 American Community Survey\, 30\,373 Loudoun County residents (7.1 percent) have at least one disability.\nPeople with disabilities experience poverty at twice the rate of those without disabilities\, due in part to barriers in employment\, education\, and the added costs of daily living.\nAs Loudoun County continues to grow\, so does the need for accessible programs and services that support low-income families and individuals with disabilities.\n\nThe Opportunities Breakfast invites guests to learn more\, connect with our mission\, and discover how together we can build a more inclusive community. \nAttendance is free\, and breakfast is provided.While this event is a fundraiser\, guests are simply invited at the end of the program to make a contribution if they feel inspired. There is no minimum or required gift. \n
