NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Voya Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VOYA), announced today that the company, in collaboration with Disability:IN, the global organization driving disability inclusion and equality in business, will host the second-annual virtual concert featuring America’s Got Talent finalist Mandy Harvey and other artists with disabilities.
This year’s event, which celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month, will take place at 8 p.m. EDT on Thurs., Oct. 28. The virtual concert can be accessed at no cost to attendees via the Voya Financial, Mandy Harvey and Disability:IN Facebook pages. To invite colleagues, friends and family, visit the event link and click the “invite” button.
The concert’s outstanding creative performances reflect Harvey and Voya’s shared commitment to spreading positivity around disabilities. This also aligns with Voya’s focus on serving people with disabilities and special needs, along with their caregivers – in alignment with Voya’s Voya Cares® program. Harvey, who lost her hearing when she was 18 years old as a result of a connective tissue disorder known as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, serves as an advocate for the deaf and disabled community. Harvey will be joined on stage by John Bramblitt, Lachi, REVolutions Dance and Warren “Wawa” Snipe.
“We are honored to collaborate with Disability:IN for the second consecutive year to share Mandy’s positive messaging with the world during National Disability Employment Awareness Month,” said Voya Financial Chairman and CEO Rodney O. Martin, Jr. “This special event is part of a broader movement that calls on everyone to play their role in advancing disability inclusion in business.”
In addition to Voya and Disability:IN, the concert will also feature CEOs and brands that are catalysts for disability inclusion and equality. Among the notable companies participating will be Bayer US, CAI, Discover Financial Services, Dominion Energy, Inc., Lowe’s Companies, Inc., Novant Health, Old National Bank, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, UScellular, Walmart Inc., and Withum.
“We’re marking National Disability Employment Awareness Month with a phenomenal group of talented artists who demonstrate every day that disability is a strength and a source of pride,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO, Disability:IN. “These performers, along with their allies, know that people with disabilities can and do make tremendous contributions to the workplace and society. Including people with disabilities sends the message that a company is committed to building a diverse culture and sustainable business.”
For those unable to attend the virtual event, a recording of the concert will be made available on Voya’s YouTube channel following the broadcast.
