The foundation also helps to provide a number of meet and greets for adults and children with developmental disabilities. Supporting anyone that needs their help, their belief is that everyone deserves an opportunity to not only follow their dreams – but to believe they can attain them.
"We are beginning to host events like this to help individuals with disabilities hope and believe that absolutely anything is possible," says Dr Mathias Oni-Eseleh, Principal of Taconic Innovations Inc.
"No one should ever feel that they can't meet their idols, athletes, movie stars or celebrities. There are millions of people in America who are living with a disability, and it's our aim to challenge the view that this means they can't do things that they dream of."
Both Elijah Hughes and Mathias Oni-Eseleh Jr are Syracuse University alumni. Each of them has equally dedicated many hours of time to providing both inspiration and hope to individuals around the world, and now, with this event, they hope to give even more children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to realize their dreams.
Mathias says that the Taconic Innovations Foundation lives on a number of thirteen core, ancient principles, which have been handed down throughout the generations. These are all based on harmonious spirit of peace, love and happiness, and include leadership, integrity, honesty, objectivity, faith, openness, gratitude, honor, respect, love, service to others, selflessness, and belief.
"Everything we do comes down to the Taconic Innovations' core principles," says Mathias. "This event is no different and is testament to our belief that everyone deserves to feel inspired, hopeful, and loved. We can't wait to hold this event with Elijah and the Elijah Hughes Foundation, and hope that it is one of the first of many we carry out in the area."
