NORWICH — Achieve's Envisions Day Habilitation Center, located at 96-100 East Main Street in Norwich, will be hosting a car wash fundraiser in the CWS parking lot from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24, in support of the Self Advocacy of Achieve group.

Achieve Day Habilitation Support Specialist Sue Benjamin said the Self Advocacy group aims to "empower Self Advocates that take part in Achieve's programming to learn about their rights and  responsibilities, identify rights they wish to advocate for, and band together with others in New York State to speak up for those rights."

The individuals served by Achieve will be washing cars for $5 per car, with the help of Achieve staff as needed. Funds raised will go to supporting the Self Advocacy group, allowing them to attend educational seminars on the topic of self advocacy.
