Help MRI Paint the Town Orange!

March is celebrated nationally as Developmental Disability Awareness Month, and we need your help to raise awareness in our community! We are happy to announce our second annual “Paint the Town Orange” week will take place from March 18th – 22nd.

Paint the Town Orange is a weeklong effort designed to raise awareness and highlight the abilities of people with developmental disabilities through the use of the color orange. We are searching for businesses, groups, or organizations to partner with us for this event; participation is completely free!

If you choose to join our campaign, you will receive a Paint the Town Orange kit, including a handmade orange paperchain to display at your business, orange ribbons for your staff to wear throughout the week, and a framed graphic detailing how to promote awareness and inclusion of people with developmental disabilities.

To register and select a time for us to deliver your kit, contact Kara McCroskey at kmccroskey@maconresources.org or 217.875.8891.

“I am as thankful for this program as this gives my child anopportunity to learn teamwork, be with her peers and have fun. If not for this program, she would have been at home watching television and playing video games.”
