Amber Hampton will compete in several swimming events and look forward to fulfilling her dream of winning a goal medal.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. , May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- EarthKind®, the nation's leading plant-based pest prevention company is proud to announce that Amber Hampton will compete at the United States Special Olympic Games in Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, on June 5-12.
Leading with kindness has always been the purpose of EarthKind®, and with that in mind, Kari Warberg Block, CEO/Founder of EarthKind®, knew that she had to build a brand based on inclusion. Seeing numbers in the millions, of people with disabilities who were unemployed, Kari understood that she had to make a change when starting her company—believing that all companies should take the lead to protect the health of humans, animals, and the environment, finding opportunities that did not traditionally exist before.
By partnering with LIFESPAN, an organization that assists in the employment of the disabled and older adults, Kari created a program where "Handy-capable individuals" staff 20 percent of Earth Kind's factory workforce, creating employment opportunities and helping them to fulfill long-term jobs that maximize their unique talents and skills by nurturing their dedication and commitment.
Amber is one such person who has benefited from this program. She has been on a journey to accomplish as many goals as possible, including living a fully independent life. Having a secure job where she makes her own money and can pay her bills was one of her major life goals. In the seven years that Amber has worked at EarthKind, she has flourished. "Amber has always believed that anything was possible. That's something her wonderful supportive family has instilled in her. Now, in an amazing achievement, she will compete in the Olympics. I am so incredibly proud of this wonderful young woman," said Kari Warberg Block, "everyone at EarthKind is cheering for her, and she knows she has the full support of the whole company behind her."
Entered in several swimming events, including: the 50-meter Backstroke; 50-meter Butterfly; 50 and 100-meter freestyle; and the 125-meter Swimming relay; Amber is setting her sights on gold, just like her idol Michael Phelps.
Kari and EarthKind will always support the passions of its employees. They will be sending her off in style, celebrating her accomplishments and looking forward to her wins, while remembering the motto of the Special Olympics that Amber loves to be a part of "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt."
