Put on your best sparkles and brightest colors—it’s time to hit the dance floor!
We’re thrilled to invite you to the 8th Annual DSG Gala for self-advocates ages 18 and older! This year’s theme is Disco Fever, and it’s going to be a night to remember. Guests will enjoy a fantastic catered dinner, strike a pose in the photo booth, make new friends, and boogie the night away under the disco lights!
Dates are welcome and invited! Plus ones are not required to have Down syndrome and may be a peer buddy, similarly aged sibling, boyfriend/girlfriend, or friend. Please note: all plus ones must be 18 years or older and must be registered to attend.
Dinner Menu:
Light Herb Chicken (GF, DF)
Mashed Potatoes (GF)
Fresh Steamed Broccoli (GF)

Attire: Sequins, bright colors, dresses, suits, fun patterns—anything that shines and fits the disco theme! We love when guests dress to impress.
DSG staff and volunteers will be on-site throughout the evening to help facilitate the event and ensure a safe, inclusive, and welcoming experience for all attendees.
🪩 Registration opens Friday, October 24, and closes Monday, December 2—or until the event is full.
