Special Events
Special events are an important and fun way to help Ability Beyond continue to discover, build and celebrate the ability in all people. Everyone — from individuals and family members to corporations and community organizations — who volunteers, attends or sponsors our fundraising initiatives is helping us meet critical financial goals. We invite you to join us and celebrate with our friends and donors to raise the needed funds that will help the people we serve go beyond the expected!

Gala & Beyond
Our annual Gala is Ability Beyond’s largest fundraiser of the year and generates funding for many initiatives and enhancements that support the people we serve. This past April we honored The Finkelstein Family with the Robert S. Young Humanitarian Award. Two generations of the Finkelstein's have become staunch advocates for people with disabilities through the New York State Legislature and through generous support of Ability.
Golf, Tennis & Pickleball Tournament
One day - two states - three sports! Join us for our annual Golf, Tennis & Pickleball Tournament on Monday, October 6, 2025 at Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase or Ridgewood Country Club in Danbury! Enjoy a day of friendly competition, networking, and giving back! Whether you're swinging a racket or teeing off, your generosity helps support our programs that empower the lives of people with disabilities.
Autumn Breakfast
More than 375 supporters gathered last November for our Autumn Mental Health Breakfast honoring three heroes whose leadership, philanthropy, and advocacy have had such a profound impact on those suffering from mental health challenges. Save the date for Thursday, November 13, 2025, and join us for another unforgettable morning of community and connection.
