“4000 Lives Changed! SAWs builds ADA ramps, partners with Rehab Medical for accessibility. Join us April 28th to celebrate and raise funds!”
INDIANAPOLIS, IN, USA, March 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Servants at Work (SAWs) is thrilled to announce the milestone of building 4000 wheelchair ramps. Since 2003, SAWs volunteers have built ADA-compliant custom ramps throughout Indiana, serving clients and their families with safe access at home. This significant milestone represents the ongoing commitment of both SAWs and partner Rehab Medical to provide accessibility and independence to individuals in need throughout the community.
“Rehab Medical is proud to partner with Servants at Work as we both have a shared commitment to improving lives,” said Rehab Medical President Kevin Gearheart. “Being a part of a wheelchair ramp build with SAWs allows us to give back to our community while also helping mobility users restore their freedom by improving access to their homes. It is truly humbling to witness the impact these builds have on not only the recipients of these wheelchair ramps, but our employees who are so passionate about helping others.”
The celebratory event, scheduled for April 28th, 2024, will feature distinguished speakers Scott Swan, renowned news anchor, and Ben Trockman, disability rights advocate and Evansville councilman. Both Swan and Trockman will share their insights on the importance of accessibility and the SAWs mission.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, featuring a wide array of exciting items generously donated by local businesses and supporters. With a fundraising goal of $40,000, every contribution will directly impact the lives of individuals and families in need of accessible pathways.
“We are thrilled to reach this incredible milestone of 4000 clients served,” said Tim Thurston, SAWs Executive Director. “It is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, partners like Rehab Medical, and the unwavering support of our community. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.”
The event promises to be an inspiring and uplifting occasion, honoring the Servants at Work mission and celebrating the collective efforts of SAWs, Rehab Medical, and the community at large. Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the impact of SAWS ramps and how they can continue to support this vital mission.
