Now in its fifth year, the Awards program honors the performance of not-for-profit organizations in the Philadelphia region that enhance the quality of life and increase opportunities for independence for people with physical disabilities.

Suzanne Rotondo, Chair of the Awards Review Committee, commented, “The objectives and eligibility criteria have been expanded for the 2010 Awards program. For the first time organizations serving populations of adults or children with multiple disabilities that include physical or mobility disabilities will be considered. The entire Awards Review Committee has been impressed with the work accomplished by past recipients. Our goal in the 2010 program is to assist additional worthy organizations in expanding their programs and services for people with physical disabilities.”
