     The Annual Ability Beyond Disability Gala

    The annual gala is Ability Beyond Disability's largest fundraising event of the year.  Funds raised from the event support the various programs of our consumers.  The evening features a live and silent auction, dinner, dancing, live entertainment and the Robert S. Young Humanitarian Award. 

    The award is given in memory of Robert S. Young, a former volunteer leader and President of Ability Beyond Disability. It is at the Gala that the award recipient is introduced. The honoree is a member of the community who exemplifies community participation and volunteerism. The consumers also attend as guests and have the opportunity to interact directly with their Ability Beyond Disability supporters.

     The 2010 Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championship
    This year, Ability Beyond Disabiliy will participate in the Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championship.  This tournament brings individuals and businesses from the tri-state area together for a great day of golf at Ridgewood Country Club in Danbury, CT.  It is a wonderful opportunity for networking and introductions, as well as raising funds for the people served by Ability Beyond Disability.  All proceeds will benefit Ability Beyond Disability and the 1,500 people with disabilities throughout CT and NY that we help each and every year.

    If you would like more information about playing or sponsoring Ability Beyond Disability through the golf tournament, please contact us at 203-826-3181.

    Fall Fund Fest
    Ability Beyond Disability's Fall Fund Fest is a season-long fundraising event celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month in October!

    All of the money that is raised through Fall Fund Fest will help people with disabilities to find a job. 70% of working-age adults with disabilities are unemployed and Ability Beyond Disability is dedicated to combating that statistic.
