JUMP

An event of JUMP’s Disability Awareness Week 

Join JUMP to celebrate people of all abilities while learning about ableism through watching the 2019 film The Peanut Butter Falcon. “After running away from a residential nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a pro wrestler, a man who has Down syndrome befriends an outlaw who becomes his coach and ally.” - Rotten Tomatoes.

Free popcorn and candy will be provided.

Carpool to the volunteer site is provided.

Join JUMP to volunteer at Rohnert Park Animal Shelter. RPAS “works tirelessly to find good homes for every animal in our care and provide top-notch veterinary care for those in need.” They “rely heavily on volunteers to give the animals the quality of care that they feel is important and to be able to offer all the programs that they do”.
