FULTON, NY – On September 15, Oswego Industries and Arc of Oswego
County will host a concert at West Linear Park. The band performing is FLAME, a group of talented musicians from upstate New York who happen to have disabilities.
Local residents are invited to come out to enjoy the free community concert at West Linear Park in Oswego.
The concert is organized and presented by Oswego Industries and Arc of Oswego County, two local nonprofit agencies that focus on improving the quality of life for all people, with the primary emphasis on those with disabilities.
The band has been featured on “Good Morning America” as well as “The Today Show.”
FLAME has traveled the world in order to spread their message and help change how the public perceives people with disabilities and increase the awareness and acceptance of all people.
