“We invite the community to attend out biggest event of the year to help support our groundbreaking community programs that challenge expectations and inspire new possibilities,” said Charlotte Gill, chief development officer of The Arc of Palm Beach County. “Join us in creating a world where every person, no matter their ability, is not only included but honored and celebrated. The best part of the evening is that everyone leaves a winner having made an impact on so many lives.”
This year’s co-chairs, Tara and Brian Evans, began their journey with The Arc of Palm Beach County 18 years ago when they sought specialized education and care for their daughter Brenna, who has disabilities. In 2006, Tara and Brian enrolled Brenna in The Arc’s Potentials School, now Bodwell Academy. Through The Arc, Brenna was able to take her first steps using a gait trainer and communicate for the first time with a communication device, two incredible milestones that will forever be cherished.
“The Arc of Palm Beach County cares about helping individuals with disabilities from birth to old age,” said Tara Evans. “We are celebrating The Arc’s 19 unique programs dedicated to empowering children and adults with disabilities across the county. The gala allows us to present our mission to a large audience and showcase the high-quality care and commitment we bring to individuals and families.
