United Spinal is going to turn the temperature up with a blazing array of hot summer events.

Summer warms up as our 2009 Independence Expo rolls into the exciting and stimulating Metro-New York City area. This year’s theme is “Active Living For All” and there is truly something for everyone at the 2009 Independence Expo. Exhibitors showing the latest products for consumers with disabilities and aging Americans, non-stop consumer workshops, raffles with super prizes, plenty of parking and an accessible venue. It’s a consumer experience that won’t consume your wallet. It’s all FREE with pre-registration and you get 3 complimentary guest tickets to help make this a no cost outing with friends or family. You can find details and pre-registration forms at the Independence Expo website.

Summer is for kids and kids love their summers. Our popular one of a kind Kids Sports Spectacular adds to the excitement and heightens summer fun for kids who are wheelchair users. A full day of kid things to do, interactive events, non-competitive sports, instructional and motivational sessions, camaraderie and new friends. Kids Sports Spectacular is sure to add bright smiles to the summer sunshine. This free event is definitely on. Event details are presently being finalized.
