Who is danny Blake?After a difficult birth experience, danny Blake was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and it was recommended that he im-mediately be placed in an institution. His parents staunchly refused and took their son home to join his family. At the age five in 1955, danny was named the Easterseals Child of year and was photographed with Governor Laushe of Ohio.
There was no such thing as “inclusion” in 1958 – anyone different was separate. However, it didn’t take long for danny’s educators to realize that his “differences” were only surface level. He graduated college near the top of his class with a 3.8 GPA.
danny received his undergraduate degree from Arizona State University and a Master’s Degree in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago. In 1985, he became a board member of the Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Southern Arizona. He was instrumental in helping the agency obtain a half-million dollar grant from Angel Charities, giving the final speech on hope and perseverance. By 1993, Cerebral Palsy Foundation of Southern Arizona was serving more than just those with Cerebral Palsy and decided to change their name to The Blake Foundation, in honor of danny. In 2006 the agency became an Easterseals affiliate. danny remains on the Board of Directors and is a past Board President.
danny spells his name with “d” in order to carry his experiences as a youth with him in his adult life. Thankfully, today the world is a different place for people with disabili-ties. danny’s life serves as a reminder of how far we have come, and the work left to do.
