In the first half of 2021, Team Arc continued to do what they do best – provide stellar services for our children and adults, while safeguarding their health and well-being. Potentials’ students closed out a successful year of hybrid in-person and distance learning, the Early Intervention programs assisted more infants than ever before, the Adult Services’ team coordinated testing, vaccinations, and safe community engagement, and our mentors connected with their peers in creative ways.

The Arc Creates Champions of Change
The Arc of Palm Beach County is building leaders in disability inclusion and advocacy. The nonprofit has graduated its first class from the Champions of Change Learning Series. The new initiative, which promotes personal and professional growth, aligns with The Arc’s culture of caring, innovation, empowerment, and acceptance.
Charting The Course to Acceptance
Supporters of The Arc of Palm Beach County got an extraordinary view of the Palm Beach International Boat Show. On Sunday, March 28, the nonprofit hosted brunch on the 9,000-square-foot Mansion Yacht.
The Arc graduated its first team cohorts from the Champions of Change Learning Series on April 1! The Leadership Team worked with Alonzo Kelly, a nationally recognized Strategic Leadership Partner, to develop Champions of Change exclusively for The Arc to build on and sustain our culture of caring, innovation, empowerment, and acceptance.
The Arc Unveils Landmark Projects
March is National Disability Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the diversity, talents, and lives of people with disabilities. This month, and all year long, The Arc of Palm Beach County works to connect people with disabilities to the greater community to build understanding and trust that leads to inclusion and acceptance.
The Arc Names New Board Chair for 2021
The Arc of Palm Beach County has named Kurt Gehring as its new board chair. Gehring, the founder, president, and CEO of the Gehring Group, will lead the Board of Trustees for the next two years.
Wild Pants Raises Nearly $90,000
The Arc transformed its annual fundraiser adding a 2020 twist. Supporters stepped out in their sassiest slacks for the WILD Pants fundraiser bringing in $89,000. Traditionally, The Arc recruited men from the community to model colorful pants in an effort to raise money to support programs for people with disabilities. This year, participants of all ages and genders were asked to make, decorate, or buy tricked-out trousers to battle for the championship title.
The Arc is entering 2021 with optimism and bold plans for the future. The year 2020 was difficult for The Arc, our team members, the amazing children, families, and clients that we are privileged to serve, and our community. Yet Team Arc led with innovation and determination, creating opportunities for our agency not only to continue to provide stellar services, but also to position ourselves for future growth and success.
The Arc Receives Grant for Community Inclusion Program

Thanks to a continued grant from Prime Time Palm Beach County, youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities will have improved access to quality afterschool and summer programs.
