Deets: YAI’s Central Park Challenge is New York's biggest annual celebration of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). This year, it is taking place on May 31st, from 8am to 12pm.  

Central Park Challenge (CPC) began in 1986 as a fun run held in Westchester to encourage fitness and healthy living among people with I/DD. Growing organically since then, today it features a 3K walk, carnival area filled with games and live entertainment, and junior races for children ages 2 to 12. The family-friendly event welcomes thousands of supporters each year to join YAI in seeing beyond disability. Most importantly, it is a key fundraiser for YAI, with all funds donated going directly to support the I/DD community with initiatives such as housing, education, and employment.
