PHOTOS: Abilis ‘Together We Shine’ Event Heats up a Cold February Night in Greenwich

The red carpet unfurled at First Presbyterian Church Saturday night for the fifth annual “Together We Shine” event, an effort of the Jr United Way, Greenwich the United Way and Abilis.

The theme was Winter Wonderland and it was fitting after several recent snowfalls blanketed Greenwich.

The Together We Shine event featured dinner, dancing, music, the signature red carpet entrance.

Abilis community members and area teens attended the event in formal attire and danced the night away.

Abilis recently announced a $3.78 million grant from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation to support the purchase of a second location in Stamford at 78 Harvard Avenue. It will be named the Cohen Abilis Advancement Center.
