Eighth-annual DUDE Celebration and Fundraiser:
CelebrateABILITY
Of Course You're Invited!
Friday, August 7, 2015 starting at 3 p.m.
(Celebrating the anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA))
Ashland Community Center, 59 Winburn Way, across from Lithia Park
THIS EVENT IS FREE – DONATIONS GRATEFULLY ACCEPTED
Join us for munchies, art work, live music, silent auction, raffle, awards, prizes, and just about as good a time as we can get away with, and, of course, as always, our event is ACCESSIBLE!
Since 2003, we’ve celebrated 'successful advocacy by and for Oregonians with disabilities' (DUDE mission statement). It’s our way to say thanks to all those who make our advocacy possible. So come on over and join us to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act , grab a glass of cider and some munchies, jam out to live tunes, bid on great deals donated by our generous local merchants at the silent auction, win great prizes in the raffle, meet new friends, enjoy yourselves and stay ‘til the party’s over!
Did we say SILENT AUCTION? Yes indeed! A growing number of local merchants, artisans, artists and angels have donated beautiful gifts, and the proceeds help us stand up for those who can’t. YOU CAN HELP: Donate your artwork, craft goods, or gift certificate:
DUDE is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit and all gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Help us advocate for access and inclusion across the state. Call (541) 944-9600 or email Disabledunitedoregon@gmail.com to help us advocate for access and inclusion across the state for all, because everyone will join us in disability if they live long enough.
Again, YOU and all your friends are invited to join us at the Ashland Community Center, 59 Winburn Way, across from Lithia Park on Friday, August 7, 2015, 3 p.m. until whenever, for fun, engagement and a great time all around.
We will feature paintings from local studio artists, musical entertainment by well known local musicians, such as: Hand in Hand Drummers (Afro-Cuban Drumming), Waterbound, Ax Prince, William Lawson, Milestone in Review (Bill Hahey, Craig Martin, Lori Plaxe, John Foster), and the Tom Clunie Folk Band with Jessica Bryan, plus many more.
Thank you, and thanks to all our great volunteers and donors, this year and all past years DUDE has advocated for Oregonians with disabilities!
Look forward to seeing you there!

For over 12 years DUDE has actively provided “successful advocacy by and for Oregonians with disabilities” (DUDE mission statement) and continues to support independence for disabled Oregonians. Banding together to pass HB 3268 (an Oregon law passed in 2004 to protect disabled persons’ rights to continue in-home care). DUDE has expanded public transportation services, pedestrian safety, community outreach, and education concerning disability. DUDE's recent projects have focused on the local installation of Audible Pedestrian Signals.
This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, enacted in 1990), landmark civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination and guarantees that people with disabilities live a life of freedom and equality.
