“Zach played ice hockey for 13 years on a Blackhawks Charity team known as the Tomahawks and he absolutely loves that his former hockey coach agreed to drive him to work once a month. His favorite part of his job is getting to scan tickets as the fans enter the game. Zach keeps the crowd roaring!!

Over the past three months, I’ve watched Jack scan the tickets of thousands of fans at the United Center. I am humbled by his bosses, his coworkers, and the thousands of people who have passed through his gate with patience, kindness, but especially those who are completely oblivious and unaware that there is anything different about him.

”This is inclusion. Not when someone special gets noted and feted for their specialness, but for their ability to just be. Be a coworker. Be a young person working a service job. To NOT be seen as different IS something special.”
