What a Fantastic National Celebration of Disability Rights Advocates!
We truly appreciate everyone who joined us last Thursday in San Francisco, New York, and from your homes across the nation as we celebrated through a unique, inclusive, and equitable event, DRA’s 30th anniversary (recently highlighted in Philanthropy New Digest).
We laughed, we learned, we connected, and we planned towards the future. If you missed the event, not to worry, you can experience the livestream here.
Your generous donations towards the gala totaled an incredible $1M. Thank you! And we can’t stop there! DRA relies on the support of individuals, foundations, and corporations to take on the systemic, high-impact case work that has transformed society for the last 30 years. And our journey must continue!
It is not too late to support DRA’s important work and donate today.
Special thanks to our subway client awardees, our talented emcees, our amazing performers, our staff, our advisors, our donors, and our board who made it all possible.
