On Sunday, Grungo Law was proud to sponsor Our View’s annual fundraiser.

This event was especially meaningful, serving as a “passing of the baton” from the founders of Build Jake’s Place to Art Aston’s Our View organization. Art had previously served as Executive Director of Jake’s Place, making this transition a true continuation of Jim and Lynn’s mission and values.

Our View’s mission—to educate, raise awareness, and change the tone of conversation about disabilities—is built upon Jake’s Place’s legacy of creating inclusive playgrounds for people of all abilities.

The baton was also passed from the Board Members of Jake’s Place to the new Board Members of Our View. We were proud to see Grungo Law Marketing Director, Lance Wyllie, among Our View’s new board. His dedication to volunteering and helping others aligned perfectly with our firm’s core values of Community and Giving Back.

Grungo Law was excited to celebrate this milestone with Our View and remains proud to support their mission and their work with The Camden County New Jersey Miracle League.

Our mission at Our View is to change the tone of conversation about disabilty. We want to see that change happen not just in our local communities, but around the world.

I wanted to play with Our “See The World From, Our View” tagline, and have every table be named after a city around the world.

Thank you to my friend Kelly Lynch for making my vision for the seating chart come to life!!

In my speech I mentioned the following statistics:

It is estimated that 16% of the world’s population has some type of disability diagnosis.

That is 1.3 billion people around the world.

In the United States, 11% Of all adults between the ages of 18 and 64 have a disability.

In the 2022–23 school year, 7.5 million students in the United States received special education services, representing 15% of all public school students aged 3 to 21years old, who received services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

People with disabilities and their families are at a higher risk of living in poverty, experiencing social exclusion, and having a lower employment rate than people of working age who are not disabled.
