Last year, we raised over $59,000 towards VARC’s Disability Services, which supports youth and adults with disabilities. The contributions made during last year’s Gala supported the creation of a fenced-in outdoor play space for our new all-inclusive childcare center! This year, we aim to raise $75,000 for a new bus that will allow our organization to continue providing access to programming for adults and children with disabilities and other life barriers.
This is a golden opportunity to help support a worthwhile cause, while enjoying an evening of dinner, entertainment, and dancing the night away! Last year, we welcomed over 200 guests in support of our mission, and we anticipate another sellout crowd to ring in 2025. Get your tickets before they are gone!
