The top five reasons to join The Social Challenge!


5. You're interested in making a change, but you don't know how to do it.
Look no further than www.thesocialchallenge.org, where you can be the change without ever leaving your computer!

4. You're bored with the usual internet hangouts and looking for a cool new site.
Have you swung by The Social Challenge lately? It's sleek, cool, and just try to take your eyes off of the sliding 'R' word feed -- we dare you!

3. You've been burned by words before.
You know that words can hurt, and the careless use of the 'R' word is particularly painful for those in the community. By taking The Social Challenge you can issue gentle, anonymous reminders to others to choose their words more carefully.

2. There are 200,000 people with developmental disabilities in Illinois.
That number may include you, your cherished loved ones, dear friends, neighbors or classmates. If you don't register for yourself, register for them!

And... drumroll please....

1. You want to challenge yourself, challenge others, and join us in creating a community rooted in equality!
