About the Event

The Graham Academy is organizing an event on May 2nd on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. The event, Awareness and Inclusion: I Am Different, Not Less, is a community-driven event dedicated to celebrating individuality, promoting inclusion, and supporting children.

Hosted in the heart of Wilkes-Barre at Public Square, this event invites participants of all ages and abilities to come together in a powerful show of unity, compassion, and joy.

Our school’s mission is to create brighter futures for students, regardless of the learning barriers or other challenges they may face. We currently service 45 school districts across multiple counties, and we are dedicated to increasing awareness of our special needs community.

This year we will have vendors, Food Trucks, Battle of the Bands, A Rock Around the Block, and several organizations available to share what they can do to support.

Funds raised from the registration benefit A Moment of Magic Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of medically vulnerable children through the power of play, creative engagement, and emotional support.
