Gala tickets are on a sliding scale this year, so you can pay whatever you are comfortable with. Proceeds from this event every year support our advocacy work and programs for the coming year, and allow us to continue working to empower disabled people across the country. If you are not able to donate, we’re just happy to have you celebrating with us! But if you are able, please consider donating to support our work.

Stay tuned as we reveal the panelists, awardees, and more! Be sure to RSVP at our Facebook event so you don’t miss a thing!

Let’s celebrate together.

Sincerely,

The team at ASAN
