Helping Adults Flourish in Our Community

Tickets will cost $35, and proceeds will provide YMCA memberships, museum passes and swimming passes for participants of RAAI’s day support program. This program allows adults with developmental disabilities to remain in their community. The money from the Garden Party will offer opportunities for exercise, education and excursions.

“Our goal is to make sure each person in our program gets to do the things they want and love to do and to explore and discover new interests and passions.”
