Today is World Giraffe Day. We celebrate the longest-necked animal on the longest day of the year on June 21st every year. Learn a bit about giraffes with Ashley!
Today we also celebrate the life of Diana Hernandez-McCaffery. Diana was a proud Deaf Cuban-American. She attended the Marie H. Katzenbach-New Jersey’s School for the Deaf, which held many of her best memories and is also where she was introduced to Deaf culture and ASL. And she loved giraffes so much!
ASDC + MADFuns created this scholarship to help reach more families and allow more parents to communicate with their children, free of cost. This scholarship hopes to enable parents to communicate with their children and help make them feel more comfortable and confident. The impact on these families and individuals would be amazing and something Diana would be so proud of!
