Let's Go Red!

February 6th is National Go Red Day!

Let's join our neighbors and community members and wear red in support of a common goal: saving more women’s lives.

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women. Wear red to be seen, to be counted, to be heard, and to make an impact. Together, we are stronger than heart disease and stroke.

On the first Friday of every February, which is designated as American Heart Month, the nation comes together, igniting a wave of red from coast to coast. Wear red to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and save lives. Because when we come together, there’s nothing we can’t do.

Recently, Alaska celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (MLK Day) as a state holiday. The State also celebrated "Alaska Civil Rights Day,"
We take this time to honor Dr. King's legacy and Alaska's own civil rights advancements.
The state observes MLK Day with events and service opportunities focusing on equality, diversity, and community building, aligning Dr. King's work with Alaska's unique cultural landscape.
At The Arc, we are encouraging the people we serve, staff, and their families to celebrate the potential of ALL people, this week, and all year long.

Our Story

In 1957, a group of parents in Anchorage wanted more for their children who experienced disabilities and had special needs. They formed a preschool that over time evolved to become the non-profit that is now known today as The Arc of Anchorage. From birth to old age, The Arc of Anchorage has a full array of programs and services for Alaskans with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We work with our community and strive to create inclusion and to empower those we serve in all aspects of their lives.

The Alaskans we serve and their families are free to choose disability services that best meet their unique needs. We recognize each person we serve has specific dreams, ambitions and interests, as well as aptitudes and abilities apart from the disability they experience. Our programs and services are individually tailored to meet the needs and goals of each person we serve, and their plan of care.

Our Mission: To encourage and celebrate the potential of people who experience disabilities.
