Kids with disabilities are often excluded from play. Our goal is to create playgrounds and educational programs where kids of all abilities can play together.

For the month of May, Macy’s Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks has chosen Shane’s Inspiration as the beneficiary of their Round Up for Charity campaign for the entire month of May! When customers check out, they can round up their bill to contribute to Shane’s.

We invite you to Swing for Shane’s on the beautiful greens of MountainGate Country Club.  We will bring our own playful vibe to the links on Monday, May 6, 2019 with a great day of golf, on-course games, plenty of food, fun libations, and philanthropy! This year marks our 6th Annual Golf Challenge, “It’s Fore the Kids!”

We were grateful to honor the Bill and Dina Ruch Family Foundation and Mia and Taylor Williams and their beautiful children Evie, Finch, Huxley, and Maceo – check out the incredible playground they created in loving memory of John “Rocket” Williams…

This emotional film is based on the true story of a boy called Ian. The film was created by Emmy nominee Gastón Gorali, produced by Oscar winner and two-time Emmy winner Juan José Campanella and directed by Abel Goldfarb. This important film aims to help children to understand disability and for the message of inclusion to reach every home.

Ian was born with cerebral palsy. All he wants is to make friends, although it seems impossible to achieve when discrimination and bullying keep him away from his beloved playground. However, this young boy is determined and won’t give up easily.

“IAN” was produced at MundoLoco CGI using a unique animation technique that combined stopmotion sets made out of recycled waste with the latest CG technology. The film doesn’t use dialogue to express the children’s feelings making it inclusive to everyone regardless of their age, race, or language they speak.
