North Carolina A&T's Coach Rod Broadway Dances For A Cause

HEAD COACH ROD BROADWAY
NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY
GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- North Carolina A&T football coach Rod Broadway will participate in The Arc of Greensboro’s Dancing on the Diamond event at New Bridge Bank Park (408 Bellemeade Street), home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers minor league baseball team, on June 13 at 6 p.m.

The Arc of Greensboro was organized in 1953 by parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The initial focus of this grassroots effort was changing public perception of children with mental retardation as well as educating the community about the extraordinary potential of this special population. Much time and effort was spent advocating for services for children and adults who were denied access to day care, preschool, education and vocational training programs.

The organization promotes and advocates for opportunities that empower people with developmental disabilities to have choices as they live their lives in the community. The organization strives to recruit directors and staff who are sensitive to the community’s racial and ethnic diversity, as well as the special concerns of people with disabilities.

Broadway will join Greensboro mayor Nancy Vaughn for the important cause. Broadway’s dance partner will be Katie Steele. Visit the Greensboro of Arc website to see Broadway and his dance partner. Tickets for the event are $35. Email Maryann Kingsmill for more information.
