| Walkers are Welcome...Runners Get Ready
 Circle May 15th on your calendar. That's the day of our annual 5K Walk/Run at the Hyannis Village Green. This is a great event that brings out family, friends and supporters of Cape Abilities. It is open to walkers and runners of all abilities. To learn more and register, click here.
Everybody has fun, and there are prizes for individual and team fundraisers and top runners. All of the money raised stays right here on Cape Cod to support our work with people with disabilities. Last year, the Nickerson Family of Eastham formed a team and raised money for Cape Abilities. To watch a video about the 5K, click here. Questions? email Dorine Regan at dregan@capeabilities.org |
Visitors from Washington
 Cape Abilities was honored by The Stafford Foundation last January when we were selected along with 35 other non-profits from around the nation to participate in The People's Inaugural in Washington.
We were further honored this January when Earl Stafford, Chairman of The Stafford Foundation, visited our new pie kitchen at our Hyannis work center.
The Stafford Foundation granted almost $20,000 to Cape Abilities to buy equipment for the pie kitchen.To read a news story about the project, click here.
This new equipment will create additional jobs for people with disabilities. Many thanks to Earl Stafford, Mark Stafford, Lisa Bowen and everyone at The Stafford Foundation for your support.
