Annual Access Awards Luncheon Celebrated its 25th Anniversary

In recognition of October as “Disability Awareness Month,” the Los Angeles County Board and the Los Angeles County Commission on Disabilities held their 25th Annual Access Awards Celebration on Monday, October 17, 2016.

Through the generosity of corporate sponsors, the Commission has been able to award scholarships to students and veterans with disabilities. The scholarships have helped extraordinary students extend their education beyond high school, as well as achieve independence and self-sufficiency. 

The Commission looks forward to your ongoing support of the Commission’s work.
