This event will raise money for The Arc of Union County’s programs and services. The Arc of Union County serves more than 1,000 adults and children with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Affiliated with both The Arc of NJ and The Arc of the US, the local chapter was founded in 1949 by parents of children with special needs. The organization supports the community through educational services such as The Arc Kohler School of Mountainside, Early Intervention, After School and Saturday recreation programs, and Camp Star; Residential Services; Employment services; and Adult Day social and respite programs.
