A group of members had the wonderful opportunity to digitally record a promotional radio commercial at a professional recording studio. The intention was to promote employment opportunities for members. One segment is a 30 second recording and the other is 60 seconds.

We are a group of differently abled individuals who have survived traumatic brain injuries.
