The National Inclusion Project is very important to Clay Aiken.  Although there is a wonderful staff that runs the project, Clay must spend many hours, lending a hand and using his voice to work for inclusion for all.

This is one of the reasons we feature the programs that are a part of the Project.  According to their web-site, their mission is very clear.

Our mission: The National Inclusion Project serves to bridge the gap that exists between young people with disabilities and the world around them. We partner with communities and inclusive programs creating awareness about the possibilities that inclusion can bring.

The young organization became a reality in July of 2003.   Since that time, the National Inclusion Project has established itself as a leading voice for inclusion working with a “Who’s who” list of youth organizations.

Running a successful program costs lots of money and one of the important things that the Project has to do is raise funds to help keep the program going.

In July, a big fund-raising program is in store for The National Inclusion Project……….AND……..it is something we can all help with.

The following information comes from the National Inclusion.  If you want more information, please visit the  SITE.

We need your help to win $250,000 for our “Fresh” Idea!

Each month Pepsi is giving away $1.3 million dollars to support organizations and people who have fresh ideas that make an impact in their communities.  Pepsi decided to use some of their advertising money to fund this multi-million dollar contest for charities.  Each month, many charities vie for their chance for some of the funds.

In the month of July, the National Inclusion Project will be participating and competing for $250,000 to support Let’s ALL Play and Camp Scholarships so that thousands of kids can participate in our innovative inclusion programs.

We need your help!  To make it easy for you, we will vote for you every day if you fill out the form below.  The information you provide will only be used by the National Inclusion Project and Pepsi for voting purposes. Please pass the word!  If you would like to volunteer to help in this effort, please let us know.
