The Center for Independent Living keeps a busy calendar of events — all designed to improve the lives of those living with disabilities in Central Florida. Visit this page often to stay updated on ways to support CIL and to get involved with our organization.
Rampage
Go on a rampage – for a good cause! RAMPAGE is a one-day wheelchair-ramp building event that draws volunteers from all over Central Florida to build ramps for people with disabilities who have difficulty getting in and out of their homes. Rampage 2012 will be on February 25th!

Stroll ‘n’ Roll
What’s it like to use a wheelchair? Find out – and raise much-needed dollars for people with disabilities – by taking part in Stroll ‘n’ Roll.
A team-based fundraising event similar to a walkathon, Stroll ‘n’ Roll rallies Central Floridians to help break down barriers that affect people with disabilities. Each team will be given a wheelchair, so team members can take turns rolling or walking around the path. This event is open to the public and inclusive of everyone, with or without disabilities.
There’s no minimum fundraising amount, but most teams find it easy to raise at least $100. The funds raised help people with disabilities live independently by funding employment services, housing counseling and accessibility services like wheelchair-ramp building.
