Disability Pride and Awareness

Sunday, July 26 at 12:15 p.m. vs. Cleveland Guardians

Celebrate Disability Pride and Awareness at Tropicana Field on July 26 when the Rays take on the Cleveland Guardians! Fans can purchase a Disability Pride and Awareness ticket package that includes a seat to the game and a Disability Pride and Awareness bracelet.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Madison Marilla is an autism advocate and artist. Diagnosed with autism at age two, she found early joy in creative expression through art and music, later founding her high school’s Autism Awareness Club to promote understanding and belonging. A graduate of Western New England University with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Art, Madison earned academic honors and worked with children with special needs as the first autistic educator in her school system. Through the Emmy Award–winning series Love on the Spectrum, her warmth, honesty, and confidence resonated with audiences nationwide, helping reshape conversations around disability pride, representation, and love.

ABOUT THE DESIGN:

Inspired by Madison’s jewelry brand, Madizen®, the design centers on visibility, courage, and belonging. It reflects the quiet preparation, personal growth, and everyone’s personal journey. The bracelet celebrates progress and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and included, on the diamond and beyond.

About the Disability Pride Flag

The Disability Pride flag was created in 2019 by writer Ann Magill, who has cerebral palsy. The flag is considered a collaborative design effort, representing how a community can come together to solve a problem.

Each color stripe has a meaning:

Red - Physical disabilities
Gold - Neurodiversity
White - Invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed
Blue - Emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression
Green - Sensory disabilities, which include deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities
Black - The faded black background represents mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse

You may pick up your item at the Redemption Center, behind Section 108, from gates open to the top of the 6th inning. The bracelet is available ONLY with the purchase of a special ticket package. Only fans who present their Disability Pride and Awareness ticket at the redemption center will be eligible to receive the item.
