Welcome!

Celebrating Abilities Inc. started as a support group located in southwest Florida for parents of children with different abilities. We are no longer active as a group because we've all moved on to other areas of the United States. I've decided to keep the blog active so that information can be shared with our loyal families and some new ones, too.

11th Annual AHA Abby Irwin Family Picnic

This event is a "must attend" event..........I had the pleasure of getting to know Abby Irwin when I worked at EEDA.  She fought tirelessly to advocate for her son and many other children, all while fighting her own battle with cancer...........Please take time out of your day on 6/12 to support AHA and also to remember Abby, by attending this awesome event.


Thanks,
Jacqui
