Riley DiTullio of Cranberry, pushed in her wheelchair by Jennifer MacDaniel, participates in a runway fashion show on March 26, 2023, as part of The Woodlands’ annual DIVA weekend. The Woodlands, a nonprofit in Bradford Woods and Marshall, offers programs for those with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

The Woodlands hosted its annual DIVA weekend March 24-26 to teach empowerment and self-care techniques to 40 local teens and young adults with disabilities or chronic illness.

The weekend included a sleepover and activities celebrating the beauty in diversity and inclusion. Activities included a fashion show, creation of a Glam tote, self-care beauty instruction, construction of vision boards, a headshot photo session and a hair and make-up session.

It also included a visit from Ms. Wheelchair Pennsylvania 2023, Domonique Howell, of Philadelphia, who has cerebral palsy.

The Woodlands is a nonprofit straddling Marshall and Bradford Woods that offers programs for those with disabilities or chronic diseases.
