What an unforgettable evening! We were thrilled to have so many join us at the Are You IN? event—it was truly a night to remember. From the INspire awards and hearing directly from our individuals, we couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful evening. It was truly amazing to see everyone come together to support and celebrate the abilities in all of us.

We are beyond thrilled to announce that thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised over $415,000 at our Are You IN? Benefit!
