Mid-Atlantic ADA
Center will join the Baltimore Orioles for the 28th ADA Anniversary
Celebration at Camden Yards
The Baltimore Orioles will recognize the 28th anniversary of
the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on Thursday, July
26, when the Orioles play the Tampa Bay Rays at 7:05 PM. The Mid-Atlantic
ADA Center, funded by ACL's National Institute on Disability,
Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR),
has partnered with the Orioles for this celebration.
The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center connected the Orioles with a local
disability theater organization, Art Stream,
and a few performers with disabilities will sing the National Anthem. In
addition, during the game, 10-14 individuals with disabilities will be
invited onto the field to share their "Because of the ADA..."
personal message about how the ADA has positively impacted their
lives.
The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center will host the Orioles' Community
Booth on the concourse during the game. They will offer print materials on
the ADA, as well as stickers and temporary tattoos with the ADA 28th
Anniversary theme. A timeline depicting the history of the ADA will be
displayed on the concourse.
The Orioles will show the trailer "Reflections of a
Promise," which highlights the signing of the ADA, as well as a new
public service announcement developed by the Maryland Department of
Disabilities.
