Variety the Children's Charity of Colorado Participates in National Giveaway for UN Disabilities Day- December 3, 2011

Variety the Children’s Charity of Colorado joined a nationwide effort of Variety Tents to observe the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on Dec. 3 by presenting specially designed adaptive bicycles to two local children with disabilities.

Variety of Colorado was one of 12 chapters, or “Tents,” which gifted 52 adaptive bikes and three sports wheelchairs across the country.

VOC presented special bikes to CoraJane and Jada on Saturday, Dec. 3 at Regal Cinemas RiverPoint Stadium 14 in Sheridan, CO.

The United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities is an annual occasion to reaffirm and draw attention to the rights of people who live with disabilities worldwide. Variety, through its “Kids on the Go!” initiative, regularly assists families in procuring durable medical equipment and services designed to increase access for a child with limited mobility to his or her community, as well as build his or her sense of independence, when the family cannot afford it and insurance denies aid.
