About RockABILITY
On Friday, April 19th, we are hosting our RockABILITY fundraising event and we are hoping that you can join us as we celebrate “rockstar” abilities. This happy hour event is a great opportunity for you to find out about the amazing life skills training we do, mingle with friends, enjoy some great food and perhaps even “cut a rug”.
This event is critical for our programming, for we need to continue to grow with that innovative spirit on which we were founded. Great and mighty things are in the works for our participants and chefs of all abilities, but support is needed to make our dreams a reality.
