March is National Disability Awareness Month 💛

More than 1 billion people around the world live with a disability — each one bringing unique gifts, talents, perspectives, and joy that make our communities stronger and brighter.

At ESP, we believe people of all abilities are not only meant to be included — they are meant to lead, create, celebrate, and change the world.

This month, we celebrate the incredible individuals in our community who remind us every day that when everyone belongs, joy multiplies. ✨

HIP HIP HOORAY!

Our CEO Laura Hope Whitaker is a national best seller!💛✨

The Joy Exchange landing on the USA Today Bestseller list is surreal — and we are celebrating BIG.

But the best part isn’t the headline… it’s the reach.

Every new reader means another person discovering the mission of ESP and learning from our friends with disabilities what real, unfiltered joy and true belonging look like.

This story was shaped by 20 years inside the ESP family — from an 18-year-old walking into the original gym to a leader now watching doors swing wide open.

This isn’t a finish line. It’s a confetti-in-the-air, music-turned-up, joy-spreading kind of milestone. And we are so grateful to celebrate it together. 💛🎉

A glimpse into the past two weeks...✨

1,000+ people gathered at the Gala to make a difference.
Talent Shows in FOUR communities.
So much joy in every single room.

We’ve watched stages light up, communities come together, and big hearts show up in the biggest ways.

The season may be over…..
But the joy is just getting started 💛💛💛

2016 was a BIG year for ESP! Java Joy and our Joyristas first started spreading joy, a new building opened its doors to the community, and Big Hearts Be Loved first made its debut!
