DAN is a national program intended to increase awareness and support

for the 54.6 million Americans classified as having some form of

intellectual or physical disability in the United States. The DAN

Program, which now encompasses both Major League and Minor League

baseball venues, is supported nationally by MassMutual and their

highly acclaimed SpecialCare(SM) program which helps parents and

caregivers effectively integrate financial planning discipline into

a thorough, customized life plan for families caring for children

and adults with disabilities and special needs. MassMutual has been

the exclusive national financial services sponsor of DAN since 2003.

In addition to raising awareness, the event provides an opportunity

for many clients and staff of local disability organizations to

attend the ballgame, thanks to free tickets donated by EP and the

St. Financial Partners/Cowan Financial Group.

" Our goal is to help all Americans understand that we will become a

stronger nation and better human beings when we learn to regard

people with disabilities and special needs as people to be

respected, not as problems to be confronted, " said ph M.

Valenzano, President and CEO of EP Global Communications, Inc.

Disability Awareness Night began in the summer of 2002 when

Exceptional Parent magazine combined forces with the New York

Yankees and Boston Red Sox to create the first event of its kind

focused on people with special needs.
