Mission of Go!Fest:
To encourage young people
with disabilities and their families to explore the available services,
resources and opportunities that would enable individuals to realize
their maximum potential in setting and achieving lifetime goals and
personal success in every area of life.
History
of Go!Fest
For Chattanooga to be a
‘progressive’ city, it must be accessible for everyone, and that begins with
compassion and inclusion. We all have unique gifts and this celebration
focuses on unlocking those special, sometimes hidden gifts and talents.
As mayor, my goal is to
focus on community inclusion and develop initiatives which serve to make
Chattanooga a complete and progressive city for all. Two years ago, we
created Go!Fest for just that purpose.
Go!Fest is a festival which
celebrates life and everyone’s ability, regardless of physical or mental
limitations. I hope you will join me as we celebrate Go!Fest 2008, “Living
Life Without Limitations” at the Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park!”
