What is The SPARK Gala?
The SPARK Gala is our annual gala, a night of celebration and our largest fundraising event of the year. It’s an evening that brings together community members to fuel the future of inclusive, independent living.
Mark your calendars! This year, SPARK is on Saturday October 3rd.
With vibrant energy, heartfelt stories, and inspiring moments, SPARK shines a light on what’s possible when people of all abilities are supported to live full lives.
Funds raised at SPARK directly support our life skills coaching, inclusive housing models, and community programs, helping turn hopes and dreams into reality for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Stay tuned for more information about The SPARK Gala 2026!
