Hi friends! I currently work as the Outreach & Events Assistant for an incredible nonprofit organization called Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration.

Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration has reinvented the paradigm of play by designing inclusive playgrounds and providing outreach and educational programs that unite children of ALL abilities together through the powerful act of play. We work globally with community partners on every continent to ensure that play, dignity and friendship are within reach of every child.

I am thrilled to be a part of this incredible team and contribute to fostering social inclusion for children with disabilities.

We are getting ready to host our 26th Annual Run, Walk & Roll and my family and I have created a team to fundraise and walk in honor of my grandmother, Pat Kessler, who passed away in October of 2022. My grandma was a long-time, devoted supporter of Inclusion Matters by Shane’s Inspiration. Her generosity and selflessness have greatly impacted this organization and my life. I aim to keep my grandma’s legacy alive through this meaningful fundraising effort. Together, we can make a difference and continue Pat’s passion for helping people of ALL abilities.

Please join us in creating a more inclusive world by donating to this worthy cause and join us at Griffith Park on September 17!
