Announcement - Celebrating 50 Years & Embracing Our Epic Future
Dear Team,
It is with great pride and excitement that we celebrate 50 years of empowering individuals, fostering inclusion, and transforming lives. This milestone is more than just a reflection of our past—it’s a celebration of the thousands of stories we’ve helped shape and the bold future we’re building together. For five decades, we’ve been more than just an organization—we’ve been a community, a family, and a beacon of possibility for individuals with developmental disabilities, their families, and the incredible people who support them every day. Together, we’ve turned challenges into victories and created a space where everyone belongs.
As we honor this legacy, we’re also stepping into a new era. I’m thrilled to introduce our refreshed brand—Epic. This isn’t just a new name; it’s a declaration of who we are and the extraordinary potential in every life we touch.
At Epic, we don’t just support independence—we elevate it.
Our new tagline, ‘Independence Elevated,’ embodies our commitment to going beyond basic support, lifting individuals, communities, and opportunities to new heights. Through our core values—Belonging, Thoughtfulness, Authenticity, Transformation, and Community—we will continue to innovate, advocate, and provide exceptional care with passion and purpose.
This new identity reaffirms who we’ve always been while positioning us for an even brighter future. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
Your dedication, compassion, and hard work are what make this organization truly Epic.
Here’s to the next 50 years of impact, inclusion, and empowerment!
With gratitude,
Michelle Madden, CEO
Epic
