For a community, compassion is measured by the people and
the manner in which they support all its members. Everyone
deserves the chance to succeed and, through the support of
our community, Via is able to help children and adults with
disabilities living in the Lehigh Valley.
Via’s mission is to provide leadership, support, opportunities
and resources for people so they may be independent, productive
and enjoy full lives within the community. To fulfill that
mission, Via hosts several events to educate the community
about important programs for people with disabilities and
engage community-wide involvement through financial, advocacy
and in-kind support. Via has several special events planned
for 2008.
 After
a successful and inspiring 32nd Annual
Via All Star Basketball Classic
& Banquet, Via is anticipating an equally exciting
event for 2008. Like last year, both the banquet and Super
Saturday event will be held in Freedom High School’s
Gymnasium. The banquet is Thursday, March 27, 2008 and the
Super Saturday is March 29, 2008. There are several sponsorship

The Via Lehigh River
Relay Marathon was the first marathon in the Valley since
1983. Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton embraced the
race and turned it into a true Valley wide event. The media
showcased the event for a 3–month period and provided
Via the opportunity to raise awareness about the need for
community-wide support for programs for people with disabilities.
