 In a world where corporate giants often seem out of touch with everyday people, seeing a company step forward and give back in meaningful ways is always inspiring. Dave & Buster’s has done just that by donating rainbow balls and other products to EBS (Ellen Browning Scripps) Elementary School, reminding us all that big brands can positively impact the lives of children and communities.
A Win-Win for Everyone For the students at EBS Elementary, these rainbow balls are more than just playground equipment they symbolize joy, fun, and the kindness of a company willing to invest in their happiness. During recess, you can see kids flocking to the colorful balls, kicking, throwing, and sharing in the simple pleasure of play. These bright, bold balls with Dave & Buster’s logo have become a staple of recess, bringing excitement to the school’s playground. From a marketing perspective, the donation is a win-win for both the school and Dave & Buster’s. The brand is not only gaining visibility, but it is doing so in a way that creates a positive emotional connection. Children, parents, and staff now associate Dave & Buster’s with fun, generosity, and support for local education. In an era where consumer trust is hard to earn, gestures like these speak volumes, and the return on investment comes not just in brand recognition, but in community goodwill. The Power of Giving: This donation also serves as a powerful lesson in generosity, especially for the students. Kids notice when companies go beyond the transactional and give something with no strings attached. It’s shaping how these young minds perceive corporate responsibility teaching them that success isn’t just about profits, but also about lifting others and contributing to the greater good. What we often overlook is how giving back transforms not just those receiving, but also those who give. For Dave & Buster’s, this wasn’t just a business transaction, but an act that reminds us all of the reward of generosity. The act of donating, particularly when done with purpose and heart, can change the way children view big corporations, turning them from faceless entities into caring members of their community. Miss Sloan’s Role in Student Development: At the heart of this story is EBS Elementary School, a place known for its nurturing environment and commitment to student growth. Under the leadership of Principal Miss Sloan, the school continues to thrive, providing students with the tools they need to succeed not just academically, but socially and emotionally. Miss Sloan is a principal who believes in supporting the whole child, ensuring that from sensory development to mathematics, students are given every opportunity to flourish. The addition of Dave & Buster’s balls to the playground only enhances this mission. It’s not just about playtime it’s about building skills, fostering friendships, and allowing students to grow in a well-rounded way. Miss Sloan’s involvement in the daily lives of her students is a testament to her dedication to their development, and donations like these only strengthen her efforts. Why We Need to Give More: This partnership between Dave & Buster’s and EBS Elementary School highlights an important truth, when we’re in a position to give, we should. Giving doesn’t just change the lives of those who receive it, it changes us as well. It reminds us of our humanity and our ability to shape the future for the better. Large corporations often have the resources to give back in ways that individuals cannot, and when they choose to do so, they set an example for us all. They show us that giving isn’t just about money it’s about time, effort, and creating opportunities for others to thrive. Whether it’s donating rainbow balls or supporting programs that enhance children’s education, the impact of giving is far-reaching. At the end of the day, it’s not just about the donation of playground balls it’s about the values those donations reflect. It’s about teaching kids that success is not only measured in dollars but also in how much we can give back to those around us. The ripple effect of generosity starts in moments like these, and as the kids at EBS Elementary play with their new rainbow balls, they are learning the most valuable lesson of all: giving is a privilege and a joy. Thank you Dave & Buster's! Chris Morris

 When it comes to creating lasting change, it takes more than a vision, it takes dedication, resilience and the right people working together toward a shared goal. United Disabilities is the culmination of years of hard work, a belief in the power of accessibility and a steadfast commitment to building something that will serve people of all abilities. Our mission, embodied in our motto, "Empowering every ability, unlocking every possibility," is not just a phrase, it’s the heartbeat of our organization.
At United Disabilities, we are building something extraordinary, starting from the ground up with the launch of our new platform. Though it will begin with limited functionality, it’s designed with a strong foundation one that can be expanded upon, adapted and scaled to meet the growing needs of individuals with disabilities, their caregivers, families, doctors, school systems and communities at large. This platform is not just for today’s needs but for future generations. At some point in life, we will all face the challenges that come with aging or disability. It is inevitable disability is a club that anyone can join at any time and when that time comes, United Disabilities will be there, ready to provide the resources, connections and support to make life easier. Much like investing in our future financially, we are building this platform as an investment in the future well-being of all. The Power of AI: Ask Disability and Beyond One of the most exciting features of United Disabilities is our Ask Disability AI system. This advanced AI tool will be integrated into the platform to provide answers and resources instantly. Whether you're looking for accessible businesses, specialized medical services, or simply need advice on navigating a new health diagnosis, the Ask Disability system is here to help. It’s not just a search tool, it’s an evolving system that learns, adapts and grows with the community it serves. From finding wheelchair-accessible parks in your area to seeking advice from experts in the disability community, Ask Disability will act as your guide, helping you navigate a world that often seems inaccessible. By integrating this AI into our platform, we’re taking a huge step forward in empowering individuals to make informed decisions and live more independently. As the platform grows, we will continue to release new features, monthly, that further enhance the user experience. Our goal is to ensure that no matter the challenge, United Disabilities will have a solution or a connection to help. A Foundation Built on Strength, Resilience, and Passion What makes United Disabilities truly special is not just the technology or the services, it’s the people behind it. From day one, this company was built on the determination to make a difference, led by our founder, Terry. Terry’s journey hasn’t been easy, but his unwavering commitment to building this platform has been nothing short of inspiring. But here's the truth…. people often think that the hardest part of building a company is developing the product, the services, or the technology. The hardest part is actually developing the team, a team that feels like family and that’s what we’ve done at United Disabilities. We’re not just a team; we’re a family. Sometimes we might be dysfunctional, but we all love and care for each other deeply. Building this kind of bond takes years. It’s one of the most difficult aspects of starting a company, far more challenging than the technical work. Most companies don’t fail because of their product, they fail because they couldn’t build a strong, unified team. It takes time to find the right people who share the same passion, vision, and heart. Terry might be the founder, but this company goes nowhere without the people standing beside him. The family is the heart of the company, and without this incredible team, there would be no United Disabilities. Each team member has shown up, day in and day out, to turn this dream into reality. Through the ups and downs, they’ve stood by one another, forming a bond that is far more powerful than any product or platform and that’s why this company is going to succeed because we are built on a foundation of respect and unwavering support. This team came together for a purpose bigger than themselves. They wanted to create a place where people could find the support they need, where caregivers and loved ones could turn for guidance and where doctors and school systems could access resources to help their patients and students. More than anything, they wanted to show the world that no matter the obstacles, anything is possible if you refuse to give up. A Future for All Abilities United Disabilities is not just a platform it’s a beacon of hope for those who feel left behind by a world that often overlooks their needs. As we continue to build and grow, we are creating a future where accessibility, understanding, and compassion are the norm, not the exception. Our platform will be here for you, your loved ones, your doctors, and your caregivers providing the tools and resources needed to thrive in a world that sometimes seems difficult to navigate and this is just the beginning. As the platform evolves, we will continue to add new features, refine our services, and expand our reach, ensuring that United Disabilities becomes the go-to resource for anyone in need of support. The truth is disability touches everyone. Whether it’s through personal experience, caring for a loved one, or simply living through the natural process of aging, we all need a system in place that values every ability and with United Disabilities, that system is here, ready to serve, uplift, and empower. The Team Behind United Disabilities None of this would be possible without the dedicated individuals who make up the United Disabilities team. Each person has played an invaluable role in turning this dream into reality. Their hard work, creativity, and dedication have laid the foundation for what will become a transformative platform for the disabled community. What truly makes this team special is that we aren’t just colleagues….we are a family. This deep connection, built on mutual respect, is what drives us forward.
