These honorees have shown strength in spirit and heart, and have risen above adversity and challenges to be the best person that they can be. At the event we will recognize and support their courage and determination to meet life’s challenges as everyday heroes who deserve recognition and applause.

Celebrate the Arts
The arts are a vital part of every community, and the essence of how the arts can change lives is captured daily at the DDSO Short Centers. Our clients are constantly uncovering talent and creativity in surprising ways. Individuals have thrived because there is no failure in the arts, and success has increased throughout the years! The visual arts, music, and theater have all enriched the lives of those who were on the margin of society, and brought us together in a richer, more inclusive community.

Look forward to listening to the amazing live music performance by Ellen Boudreaux, a Short Center North (SCN) client and musical savant. She has been featured in many DDSO events throughout the years and always lends her unique talents.

Celebrate Community
Join your fellow art patrons and disability advocates for heavy appetizers, wine tasting, and exclusive previews of new creative works from DDSO clients. Through sharing their lives with us, we are all enriched. We embrace those who have fought the good fight for all or most of their lives, and we include them as a vital part of our lives. Through this, we are made whole. For the donors and volunteers who make this event possible, we thank and applaud you. The DDSO Board and Foundation Trustees extend our heartfelt appreciation for your continued support. Your generosity is an inspiration to continue our services and to make a more accepting community where all human lives are valued.
