Enter to WIN a Trip to Capitol Hill and Be Featured in ABILITY Magazine

The Arc recently kicked off our Achieve with us contest inviting people

with intellectual and developmental disabilities to share their stories for a

chance to win a trip to Washington, D.C. Now, we’ve got another great reason

for you to enter. ABILITY Magazine, the leading source for information on

health, disability and human potential, wants to feature the winning story in an

upcoming issue of their magazine. They’ll even kick in a free one-year

subscription for the winner and 25 complimentary copies of the issue that you

can share with family and friends. This award-winning publication has provided

new insights into individual levels of ability for nearly 20 years and we’re

proud that they want to sponsor the contest and spotlight the winner.

So if you or someone you know has an inspirational story of achievement to

share, visit www.facebook.com/thearcus and enter today for your chance to win a

2-day, expenses paid trip to the nation’s capital and be featured in the pages

of ABILITY Magazine. Enter NOW until July 14 then encourage everyone you know to

vote for your story between July 15 and August 15 to win!

Here’s how to Achieve with us!

a.. Write a short (500 words or less) narrative/essay telling us your

story of achievement and submit it along with a photo at

www.facebook.com/thearcus between June 14-July 14. (Photo not required but

encouraged). Entries can come from individuals with I/DD who are 18 or older,

their parents, guardians, caregivers or friends or from the parents or guardians

of children under 18 who have I/DD.

b.. Spread the word and encourage everyone you know to view your entry

and “vote†for you between July 15-August 15.

c.. If you win, you’ll hear from us after August 15 to make

arrangements for you and a guest or caregiver to come to Washington, D.C. before

December 20 and share your story with The Arc and elected officials on Capitol

Hill. And, we’ll put you in touch with the folks from ABILITY Magazine to
