Join the Journey: Supporting Music, Inclusion, and Connection on the Road
Help Us Amplify the Mission!
From January 11th to April 5th, Specialization Unlimited’s Winter Outreach Mission will journey from Chicago to Louisville and beyond, reaching musicians and communities across the South. Every contribution fuels our goal of bringing adaptive music education and connection to those often left out of the musical conversation. Your support is tax-deductible and helps bridge gaps in accessibility, understanding, and support for musicians with disabilities.
Mission Overview:
This winter, we’re taking Specialization Unlimited’s message of inclusion and adaptive music on a cycling journey with Stevie Ray’s Blues Bar in Louisville as our central gathering point. By connecting directly with the music community and stopping to perform, teach, and meet with local advocates, our goal is to share the power of music as a means of transformation and opportunity for people of all abilities.
