The inaugural Northwest Florida Expo for Disabilities and Exceptional Needs (EDEN) will connect the disability and exceptional needs community to local nonprofit organizations, small business, and national companies that provide services or innovative products. Mission Alpha Advocacy’s mission is focused on the military-connected community, but this event will not be exclusive to that group. NWF EDEN 2025 is also available to the civilian disability and exceptional needs community. We believe the military exceptional needs community is most able to thrive when we have strong friendships and partnerships with our civilian neighbors. A rising tide lifts all ships, and the civilian population should not be excluded from an event that will provide connection and foster a sense of community.
This event will bring together 40 local organizations that provide services, supports, and products to our disability and exceptional needs community. There is even a chance to enter to win an adaptive tricycle from Freedom Concepts! Food will be available to purchase from local food trucks. There will be educational breakout sessions for families to learn more about the Step Up for Students scholarships, future living options for adults with disabilities, and FL Medicaid Waiver Services.
