pdfWILD Pants Party Shows Acceptance Is On-trend

On Friday, January 25, hundreds of guests filled the Grand Court at The Gardens Mall to watch local businessmen, philanthropists, and clients from The Arc of Palm Beach County slay the runway for the 9th annual WILD Pants Party. The evening’s “fashion models” threw caution to the wind with bright and bold outfits to raise money for the nonprofit.

Bicyclists are more likely to be killed in Florida than in any other state, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. It is estimated that 75% of bicycle-related fatalities among children could be prevented with a bicycle helmet.

Acceptance is a universal desire. We long for our authentic self to be seen, heard, and accepted. Finding acceptance and inclusion for people with disabilities has been the goal of The Arc of Palm Beach County for 60 years. The nonprofit wants to extend that message beyond its clients to encourage a community conversation about acceptance.

After frenzied holiday shopping, relax and get your purchases wrapped for free at The Arc of Palm Beach County’s Holiday Gift-Wrapping Suite. The complimentary gift-wrapping service is now open at The Gardens Mall.

The holidays are a time for reflecting and making new resolutions, especially as we approach the New Year. One resolution worth taking on is the act of accepting ourselves and our neighbors wholeheartedly. That’s why The Arc of Palm Beach County and Hamilton Jewelers have partnered together on the Acceptance Collection to stamp this message onto gold and silver jewelry.

Difficult times often lead to positive changes. Anyone who has navigated the road to self-acceptance knows it’s a challenging, but worthwhile path to travel. That’s why The Arc of Palm Beach County is launching a public service campaign focused on acceptance.

A community art project that brought artistans from The Arc and the public together is now on display in the Schumacher Automotive Group showroom. On Thursday, August 16, guests were invited to visit Schumacher Automotive Group in West Palm Beach to bring a mosaic to life. The Arc and the Schumacher Automotive Group enjoyed creating a mosaic heart, with both their logos included, to express their shared vision of inclusion and acceptance.
