Hidden Disability Sunflower

We proudly support the Hidden Disability Sunflower and encourage anyone with a sunflower lanyard, wristband or pin to wear them to the event. Wearing a sunflower product lets us know that someone has a non-visible disability such as autism and may need some additional support or time.
