Ability Beyond 70th Anniversary 2023

Danbury, Connecticut
April 22, 2023

It was an evening of reflection and hope as community members gathered to celebrate the thousands of lives impacted by Ability Beyond since its humble beginnings 70 years ago. Three hundred people gathered at the Amber Room including 22 past recipients of the Robert S. Young Humanitarian Award. The event, which was co-chaired by Meghann Smith and Ginny Young, raised nearly $500,000 to support Ability’s programs and services that discover, build and celebrate the ability in all.
