On behalf of Whole Children, I want to extend a heartfelt appreciation to our community for the overwhelming support shown at our 20th anniversary celebration last week. A sold-out crowd gathered at the Northampton Center for the Arts for an evening filled with energy, joy, and a whole lot of music.

Our Friendship Band had the honor of sharing the stage with the legendary Yo La Tengo, and the warmth and enthusiasm from the audience made it clear: This community is dedicated to supporting inclusion in the arts.

We are so grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate. You made it an unforgettable night! Here’s to many more years of creating inclusive, enriching programs for people with disabilities.
