3rd Annual Thanksgiving Gala

Celebrating strength, smiles, and lives of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Dear Bright Center Family & Friends,

We are excited to announce our Third Annual Thanksgiving Gala, on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Bright Center opened its doors in 2016. Since our inception, Bright Center has been a lifeline for families who have aged out of the school system and are no longer eligible to receive assistance from the special education department to care for their adult child with a developmental disability. We know that the healthcare system is broken. For families of children with special needs,the system is even more fractured. Services are hard to find and are extremely expensive, often not covered by insurance or Medicaid. Families spend more time navigating the fractured health system and driving to services rather than caring for their child. We want to change this. At Bright Center, we believe ALL abilities should have quality and accessible care and appropriate quality programs.

We ask for you to join us in this effort as a Thanksgiving Gala Sponsor. Your support will help further access and opportunities for children and adults with the realization of Bright Development Center, a comprehensive support network within the community, providing day programs, before & after school care, camps, evening and weekend recreational programs, social and life skills development, workforce training, onsite therapy, counseling, and care coordination. Accepting Medicaid and providing scholarships to private pay families, and care coordination to guide and support families from childhood diagnosis through adulthood. Improving quality of life through innovative comprehensive care. Families spend less time driving and navigating the complex health provider system and spend more time making beautiful memories with their children. Brighter days through BRIGHTER care.

We need your support on this special night as we celebrate the strength, smiles, and lives of persons with developmental disabilities and raise funds to provide them with greater access and opportunities.

Thank you in advance for your generous support in making every day Brighter!

Kindest Regards,
Bright Center
