METRO DISABILITY COALITION CONTINUES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS TO ASSIST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The Metro Disability Coalition works tirelessly in the community to help move toward a fully accessible community for all disabled individuals.
From developing confidence to independence the Metro disability Coalition is an organization of individuals and agencies in Louisville, KY who assist those with disabilities a better quality of life. The 501c(3) organization was established in 2001.
In March of each year, we host the Breaking Barriers Spotlight Awards. The ceremony gives us a chance to say thank you people for their commitment, recognize educators, healthcare, service, community and youth organizations for their desire to enrich the lives of gifted and talented students.
In 2017, at the 17th annual awards ceremony former University of Louisville basketball star Marques Maybin was our keynote speaker. He played for the Cardinals from 1997 to 2001. In 2003, he was in a motorcycle accident in his hometown of Clarksville, TN. Maybin was paralyzed from the waist down. He passionately spoke to the audience about his setback but also how he was able to achieve and get back to his day to day routine while adjusting to being in a wheelchair. Now, he’s one of the top on-air radio personalities for ESPN Louisville.
