Independent Together

Have a slice of independence! No, it’s not yet the Fourth of July. This independence celebration is Tuesday, June 28, when Flatbread Pizza benefits the Vineyard Independence Partnership, also known as VIP.

VIP is a nonprofit volunteer group of individuals with disabilities and their supporters working to ensure the benefits of Island life are available to all. VIP was founded 30 years ago as the Martha’s Vineyard Special Parents Association (the name change came in 2007). Over the years, VIP’s advocacy efforts have included working to improve ferry accessibility, helping to establish the Island base for the Early Childhood Intervention Program, and developing transportation, housing and employment opportunities.

Flatbread Pizza is on Airport Road in Edgartown. A generous slice of the evening’s pizza sales will support VIP activities.
