Filming our Promo Video

Sep 20, 2023

Last week we spent the day onsite Shannon Park and filmed hours of interviews with parents of kids with disabilities, kids and siblings themselves, parents with disabilities, special education teachers, and other people who work in this sector and are advocating for this park. It was a fantastic shoot and we are very excited to share why our LOCAL community needs this straight from the people who LIVE in this community. Thank you to Youman Media for entirely volunteering their time to create this video for us.

Here’s a sample of what we were up to!
