πŸŽ‰ Big shoutout to Advocate Financial! πŸŽ‰

Every great race needs a strong support team, and My Advocate Financial is helping The League go the distance as a proud sponsor of the 2026 Race 4 Independence! πŸ’œ

They are not just talking the talk β€” they are walking, running, rolling, and advocating alongside us for a more inclusive Fort Wayne.

At The League, we know independence is not a solo sport. It takes teammates, cheerleaders, community champions, and businesses willing to step up for something bigger than a finish line.

That is why we are so grateful to have My Advocate Financial in our corner β€” or should we say, in our lane? πŸ˜‰

Their support helps fuel a race that celebrates:

β™Ώ Independence
πŸ’œ Inclusion
πŸƒ Community
πŸ‘ Accessibility
🌟 Opportunity for people with disabilities

So now we have to ask…

πŸ‘Ÿ Who’s ready to join The League of sponsors?
Your business can help us keep the momentum going and make the Race 4 Independence even more meaningful.
