Take a bite out of the Big Apple at Include Everyone Project’s New York, New York Winter Gala Friday, Dec. 5, at The Centre at Centre Pointe Parkway!

Include Everyone Project is an incredible nonprofit that provides a safe, inclusive space for the disability community to express themselves creatively through the arts.

Executive Director Kristen DeBenedetto shared a glimpse of the organization’s fourth annual fundraiser, which will feature dinner, dancing, entertainment by the Kalakeke Pacific Island Dance Company, improv comedy troupe Mostly Organic, a student performance and fabulous silent auction items!

Proceeds from the event will benefit the array of inclusive and adaptive programs offered by IEP.

We also chat with Kelli Williams, whose son Saki has been a long-time member of IEP. Williams shines light on the impact the organization has had on her son, who is diagnosed with autism. The supportive and encouraging atmosphere at IEP has boosted Saki’s confidence and instilled a love of the arts.
