“If You Believe” Gala Theme
This year’s theme for our 16th Annual Gala was, “If You Believe”. This fundraising event allowed us to finally come together in person as we celebrated this happy occasion of being together once again. It also allowed us to showcase various projects and initiatives that were funded by our mini-grant programs in the past two years as well as recognize some of our Star and Community Partners.
This year’s theme, If you Believe, meant so much to all of us at SEC. Because no matter what difficulties or setbacks SEC experienced during the pandemic, we all believed in the importance of keeping SEC programs opened and running for all our participants, whether it was virtually or in person.
At SEC, we believe in our mission. We believe we can make a difference in how society perceives people with special needs, through our inclusive art-based programs, that highlights each and everyone’s unique talents and ABLILITIES.
We believe that we can redefine the definition of disability… and we believe that all things are possible with the support of our donors!
Empowering individuals through art, skill development, and peer inclusivity. Join us in our mission to create a world where every person is valued, understood, and celebrated.
