The Finish Line Youth Foundation held their annual Holiday Drive to benefit the Special Olympics, raising over $877,000. This year’s theme was “Play Unified” to encourage people with and without disabilities to play together.
February 1 is the deadline for organizations to be entered into the drawing for each time they submit to the System of Excellence Program. INARF will draw two organizations, who will receive 3 complementary registrations to the Direct Support Professionals of Indiana (DSPIN) Conference in September.

Earlier this month, we shared information from the Division of Family Resources regarding new requirements regarding information that Medicaid recipients need to submit with their taxes to indicate they had health care throughout the year.

Please share this with those you serve and their families, so they are directed to the appropriate resource information. We apologize for the confusion.
