April is Autism Acceptance Month — a time to celebrate, uplift, and advocate for the autism community.

Acceptance goes beyond awareness. At Allied, that means embracing neurodiversity, championing inclusion, and ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life.

On Saturday, our Allied Frozen Stars team took the plunge — literally — at the Special Olympics Connecticut Penguin Plunge in Tolland, CT! 🐧❄️

We are so proud to share that our team raised approximately $7,000, earned the Top Fundraising Team award, and had our very own Logan Rosenberg recognized as the Top Individual Fundraiser, raising an incredible $2,837. Way to go, Logan!

This fundraiser has made a real difference for the athletes in our sports programs over the years, helping cover registration fees, transportation, uniforms, and more. Nine of us participated this year, and many on our team have been plunging together for over a decade — coordinating outfits and all! 🌺

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and cheered us on. Want to join us next year? We'd love to grow our team!

🧡 You may notice our profile icon has gone orange this month — and there's a reason for that.

March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the people we support, raise awareness about inclusion, and affirm that people with developmental disabilities are valued members of our communities.

Did you know that people with disabilities are the largest minority group in the world?

According to the WHO's World Report on Disability (2023), approximately 1.3 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability - about 16% of the global population.

Yet people with intellectual and developmental disabilities remain among the most isolated and excluded from everyday community life. At Allied Community Services, we're changing that through programs that support independence, build connections, and ensure everyone has a place where they belong. Learn more at alliedgroup.org/our-services/.
