Honoring a Trailblazer: The Silver Buckle Award
Each year, we present the Silver Buckle Award to an individual whose life and work reflect the values of inclusion, courage, and service. This year, we are proud to honor the late Judy Heumann, a lifelong advocate for disability rights.
Judy's groundbreaking work, including her leadership in the disability rights movement and her role in shaping key legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act, changed the lives of millions. Her tireless efforts created greater equity and access for generations to come.
Join us in celebrating Judy's legacy and the extraordinary impact she had in helping others live a life without barriers.
