During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, The Coca-Cola Company committed $1 million to expand Easterseals’ workforce programs for people with disabilities. The two organizations have worked together since 2022. More than 750 people have trained through the program, and nine in ten earned at least one certification.

A study by Steward Redqueen found that Easterseals workforce development program supports $5,000 in economic value per participant. For the 750 participants Coca-Cola has supported, that’s roughly $4 million in increased economic value. The partnership was featured in the company’s U.S. Economic and Community Impact findings released in September.

"In the midst of losing my vision, I knew I wanted to continue my filmmaking career, even if I didn't know how."

In 2020, a rare disease left aspiring filmmaker Taylor Aguilar blind.

"With the help of my DVR counselor, technology and mobility instructors, and braille instructor, I have been able to gain the skills and tools to do so. Never once did they question my ability to work in a creative field. Instead they encouraged me to do more than I thought I was capable of, and have guided me in being a stronger and more independent individual. It has been far from easy, but a journey worth the challenge.”
