RSVP is now closed, but it's not too late to support with a gift.

We envision a world where all people—including those with special needs—and their families experience acceptance, inclusion, and friendship. Your support helps bring this to life through meaningful programs where children, teens, young adults, and their families feel connection, belonging, and a strong sense of self.

Online RSVP is now closed, but walk-ins are warmly welcome. When you arrive, simply go through security and fill out a name tag—we’ll be so glad to have you with us.


Thank you to our 2026 Gala Sponsors
