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. Join us on Saturday, April 26th for our 2025 Gala & Beyond: The Magic Within. We have a few magical surprises in store as we celebrate our mission and honor an outstanding pillar of the community with the Robert S. Young Humanitarian Award!
Golf, Tennis & Pickleball Tournament
This past October, Ability Beyond hosted its Golf, Tennis and Pickleball Tournament – uniting the community for a fun-filled day of competitive play, generosity, and networking. One day - two states - three sports! Supporters united in both Danbury and Purchase to raise funds for our cause. Mark your calendars for October 6, 2025 for our next tournament at Ridgewood Country Club and Brae Burn Country Club!
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.
