📣 Celebrating 35 Years of Progress!

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been breaking down barriers and opening doors since 1990. This landmark law ensures equal rights, access, and opportunity for people with disabilities in all areas of life, employment, education, transportation, and beyond.

Let’s continue to champion inclusion and accessibility for all. 💙

Celebrating a Remarkable Journey 🎉

After 26 years of dedicated service, Ms. Walker officially retired from Sunrise Community on June 27.

From starting as an LPN in 1998 to finishing her career as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), her impact has been felt by so many over the years.

We are incredibly grateful for her compassion, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to the persons supported and the Sunrise family. 💙

Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, Ms. Walker. You’ve truly left a lasting legacy!

Reflecting on a Proud Moment ✨

Earlier this season, one of our talented persons supported showcased their entrepreneurial spirit by selling custom handmade soaps! 🧼💛

The event was a beautiful reminder of the creativity, confidence, and dedication that lives within the individuals we support every day.

We’re so proud of this achievement and can’t wait to support even more dreams in the future!

Highlight Moments:

Another great and productive Florida ARF Fly-in at our Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee! Providers from all over the state came together to meet with legislators and their aides to discuss our 2025 platform and concerns to benefit individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities throughout the state of Florida. Thank you for listening and meeting with us. We have some true advocates in our great state for the people we serve and support.

Special thanks to Kim McDougal, GrayRobinson, and Florida ARF for making this fly-in such a great success!

About Sunrise

Sunrise Community is one of the largest, private 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations in the country dedicated to serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Much of the organization’s early growth can be attributed to assisting state agencies with deinstitutionalization efforts, and in more recent years, Sunrise has welcomed smaller companies in need of assistance or support into the Sunrise Group. As a result, over the last 50 years Sunrise has increased the number of persons served from 50 people in just South Florida to over 2,000 across seven states with over 3,000 exceptional employees. At Sunrise we pride ourselves in taking an individualized approach in addressing the unique needs of each person seeking or receiving services. These customized services are for people of all ages and abilities, ranging from minimal support and supervision to the most complex medical and behavioral supports. Using innovative, person-centered approaches, we work with people to ensure they have a choice and make sure that their services properly support them in achieving higher levels of independence, self-determination, personal responsibility and access to the community. The continued focus and commitment to the Sunrise mission “creating valued lives for people with disabilities” has always been the primary focus and is engrained in the culture of the organization. With a long history and proven track record, we will continue to build upon the organization’s past and look forward into the future.
