Sponsorship Opportunities

We are asking for your help to make this year’s Gala another success by becoming a sponsor. Your support of the AUCD Gala provides much needed support to supplement our grant-funded programs and projects while helping to create awareness about issues that impact people with disabilities and their families. We are deeply grateful for the commitment you or your organization can provide.

To sponsor this year’s Gala, please contact Michele Lunsford at mlunsford@aucd.org by March 31.
