CIL was given the chance to take
the stage in front of hundreds of community members on February 20, 2020 to tell their story in a unique nonprofit competition against 10 other organizations, known as the Victory Cup Initiative. Board member and friend of CIL, Chris Pruitt, captured the audience’s attention and emotion while he described his personal experience as a person living with a disability, and how organizations like CIL are incredibly critical to ensuring that community members with disabilities are able to live and lead independent lives. Chris had just two minutes to tell his story and the story of CIL, and that’s all that he needed to win CIL third place and ten thousand dollars.
