Season Two episode 7! Mike Berkson and Tim Wambach return to your computers with more education, more awareness, and more laughs! Last week we followed the Handicap This crew as they played a unique game of Jeopardy. Last July Mike and Tim performed their show for the Best Buddies Leadership Conference in Bloomington, IN. This was no ordinary show. This would be the largest audience that Handicap This performed in front of! Over 2,000 in person and another 2,000 live-streaming! For those of you that our new to our page, Mike has cerebral palsy, and virtually no movement of his arms and his legs. However, that doesn't stop Mike from living his life and laughing along the way! This WebTV series was created to educate others and bring more light to disability awareness and all abilities.
In this week's episode we capture the power behind Best Buddies International. Best Buddies International is a non-profit 501 c 3 organization dedicated to creating a global movement of opportunities for one-on-one friendships, employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Founded in 1989 by Anthony K. Shriver, Best Buddies is a vibrant, international organization, that has grown from one chapter to more than 1,700 middle schools, high schools, and colleges worldwide. Best Buddies programs engage participants in each of the 50 states, and in over 50 countries around the world. Best Buddies' eight formal programs- Middle Schools, High Schools, Colleges, Citizens, eBuddies, Jobs, Ambassadors, and Promoters -- positively impact more than 800,000 individuals with and without disabilities worldwide.
This episode has everything to do with disability awareness, inclusion, and diversity. Mike and Tim shared their relationship at the Best Buddies Leadership Conference and positively impacted thousands of individuals! The mission of Handicap This is to open minds, break down barriers, and lift attitudes up. They do this by educating, empowering, and entertaining with their shows and their speeches.
Will we be able to find two volunteers? Will Denis wilt away in the heat? Will Mike and Tim have enough time to take pictures with ALL of their new fans? Will Tim do the "running man" in front of 2,000 people? Find out and more this week!
