Our Gala theme of “Independence Belongs to Everyone” encapsulates our dedication to fostering a community where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and contribute meaningfully, achieving independence on their own terms with the supports they need.
The Gala helps raise important funds that help make possible all of our programs, services, and advocacy education for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities of all ages and their families. This special event will bring together hundreds of community members, elected officials, and leaders in the business and philanthropic communities, alongside our longstanding supporters and partners.
