Inclusion Day 2026

Monday, March 2, 2026 is Inclusion Day!

Grab your orange attire and join Summit DD in painting the county ORANGE to kick off DD Awareness Month and promote community inclusion.

Inclusion is about sharing experiences. So remember to share pics of you and your school, co-workers or friends wearing orange. Add #IncludeME and tag us – @SummitDD on Facebook or Instagram. We want to see your inclusion pride!
