EUGENE / FEBRUARY 1, 2022 – Eugene-based company, Deployed Logix (DLX), donated $250,000 towards the construction of a new YMCA in south Eugene. The New Y project inspired DLX because it promises to be an “easily-accessible, engaging facility for those with disabilities.” The Y is asking for the community’s help to match DLX’s donation.
“Sometimes families like mine feel marginalized,” said Katie Urhausen, a mom to a daughter with severe disabilities and spokesperson/co-founder for DLX. “It means a lot just to be acknowledged and included. The Y recognizes, welcomes and engages people with disabilities, but can’t put forth their best effort because of the constraints of the old facility.” The new facility will include a therapy pool, among other features that make it accessible and innovative for those with disabilities. DLX is proud to play a small part in making our community more inclusive.
DLX was founded in 2012 and continues to be the leader in American-made, rapidly deployable disaster preparedness products around the world. Its flagship shelter, the ASAP®, sets up in 60 seconds with just two people.
Working with public and private organizations around the globe including the U.S. State Department, FEMA, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the International Red Cross, the World Health Organization, the U.N., the Pan-American Health Organization, UKaid, and USAID, DLX prides itself on having the most rapid and reliable products to assist in disaster relief.
