Abilis, the nonprofit organization providing services and support to more than 800 individuals with special needs and their families, is pleased to announce its annual Spring for Abilis Gala on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Greenwich Country Club! This wonderful, fun-filled night features Billy Blanks Jr. as the celebrity emcee with music provided by ETA Music. Dinner, dancing and a silent auction will also be part of the fun evening. To become a sponsor or purchase tickets, visit https://AbilisGala2024.givesmart.com

This year’s 2024 Spring for Abilis Gala co-chairs are Afton Fraser of Greenwich, Gena Mann of Weston, and Hillary Sollinger of Fairfield, who are all parents of young adults with disabilities living in one of Abilis’ newest residences and participate in Abilis’ day support programs. These families have directly experienced the important work that Abilis does throughout lower Fairfield County and are thrilled to support the organization in such a meaningful way. Funds raised at the 2024 Spring for Abilis event will support new initiatives at Abilis.  

“We are so excited for this year’s Spring for Abilis Gala,” noted Amy Montimurro, CEO and president of Abilis. “Spring for Abilis will be at a new location this year at the Greenwich Country Club, a longtime supporter and partner of Abilis. Greenwich Country Club has been part of the Abilis Competitive Employment program, employing several of our Abilis community members, and we are excited to hold our favorite springtime Gala at their beautiful club.”
