How a map-a-thon works:
Your team will get trained on the Americans with Disabilities Act Title III Public Accommodations. You’ll then receive a list of participating businesses in your chosen neighborhood to canvass.
You’ll help business owners and managers assess their business’s accessibility, for example whether the entrance is wheelchair accessible. Teams will “compete” for how many businesses they can map. Each team will receive one raffle entry per completed business that’s assessed. Prizes include bouldering passes, Argosy cruise tickets, restaurant gift certificates and more!
Businesses that participate will get a listing on the BluePath database as an accessible businesses—a win-win for business and accessibility!
