Community Inclusion Days
Community Inclusion Days are all about bringing people together. Hosted by The Michael Mackie Project, these special events are designed to create joyful, inclusive experiences where children of all abilities — and their families — can connect, play, and participate in typical community fun, without barriers.
From seasonal celebrations and adaptive games to arts, music, and sensory-friendly activities, Community Inclusion Days offer something for everyone. These events are thoughtfully planned to ensure accessibility, comfort, and fun in a welcoming environment where every child feels seen, valued, and included.
At their heart, Community Inclusion Days foster belonging — helping build stronger, more compassionate communities where inclusion isn’t the exception, it’s the standard.
