Terry Brickley Scholarship Fund

On September 15, 2003 Santa Cruz lost Terry Brickley, an extraordinary citizen committed to expanding access, broadening awareness, and improving the quality of life for all persons in our community with disabilities and without. Before the Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted, Terry Brickley lobbied for elevators in buildings, accessible transportation, and "curb cuts" to allow sidewalk access for those with mobility impairments. He also pioneered the push for accessible parking spaces in downtown Santa Cruz, and accessible public buildings and bathrooms throughout the County. Terry was also instrumental in the formation of the County Commission on Disabilities, which influences public policy as it relates to persons with disabilities in the County.

In his own words, Terry's goal was always "to assist change, and it doesn't make a difference if it's on a political level, at a city council meeting or on a personal level, counseling a couple. There will always be barriers, whether in architecture or attitude. For more on Terry's life, read the Santa Cruz Sentinel article.
