COUGHLIN PRINTING GROUP ANNOUNCES UPDATE TO CARES PROGRAM
Watertown, NY – Coughlin Printing Group, a provider of print and digital services to many local organizations, is proud to provide an update on “Coughlin Cares” in its determined efforts to contribute to the growth and development of the communities in which it serves.
Six months and two $500 award recipients into the program, Coughlin has designed a new logo for our local library to use in all of its marketing endeavors. and, recently, printed a banner, flyers, and yard signs for a local celebration of the 34th anniversary of ADA hosted by our friends and neighbors, NRCIL. The whole community is invited to the event which will feature sign language interpretation for people who are deaf and will also include people who will speak about the ADA and its impact. There will be a cookout with hamburgers and hotdogs for all to enjoy. Entertainment will feature a live local band, activities, and games for kids. Barrier Buster awards will go out to people and organizations that have made a positive impact on increasing universal access to places, services, and events.
“As a disability rights organization our goal is to recognize milestone legislation that ensured the civil rights of people with disabilities” says Aileen Martin, Executive Director of NRCIL. The event is to be held on Friday, July 26th, 2024, at the Mayor Joseph M. Butler Pavilion in the JB Wise Plaza in Watertown, NY from 4pm -7pm. “The location was selected because it is fully accessible for people with any disability,” Martin adds.
“Coughlin Cares is one way we help make a difference in our community. We aspire to help our clients succeed, and part of that is helping the communities in which we serve to succeed as well,” says Mike Biolsi, General Manager of Coughlin. “We chose to partner with NRCIL to support their mission of providing accessibility and inclusion to people with disabilities. They wanted different print products to promote their ADA event. It was a great fit because we focus on accessibility as well. We specialize in web accessibility and implement ADA compliance standards in all our website builds,” adds Wilson Pennell, Assistant Manager of Coughlin.
