Steven Hunter: A Father’s Dedication to the Cause<\/h3>\n

Hunter’s dedication to this cause stems from his own personal experiences as a father. His 11-year-old son, Blaise, was diagnosed with Autism at three. Understanding the unique challenges faced by parents and families of children with disabilities, Hunter initiated the “Father’s United for Kids with Autism”<\/a> program. This annual gathering provides a judgment-free space for dads and their children to connect and share their experiences.<\/p>\n

Hunter’s Commitment as a Community Ambassador<\/h4>\n

Hunter’s commitment as a Community Ambassador goes beyond advocacy. He aims to utilize his platform, resources, and time to drive meaningful change in the disability community. Recognizing the power of influential community members, UCP of Central Arizona established the Community Ambassador program to leverage their impact and bring about positive change.<\/p>\n

Aside from his involvement with UCP, Hunter operates The Steven Hunter Life Skills & Basketball Academy<\/a> in Queen Creek, Arizona. Founded almost a decade ago, the academy offers Valley kids an opportunity to learn core life values through the teachings of the game of basketball.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Empowering Children with Disabilities and Autism Steven Hunter: A Father's Dedication to the Cause Hunter's dedication to this cause stems from his own personal experiences as a father.
