On Saturday, December 6th, 2025 we will be holding our Celebrating Unity Gala. This is LBSA's 30th annual gala and is our largest fundraiser of the year which raises funds to provide housing and support services to individuals with developmental disabilities.
Sponsorship opportunities are available and more information can be found here: 2025 LBSA Sponsorship Handout. Sponsorship dollars go directly to providing housing and support services to individuals with developmental disabilities. The Gala fills up early, so reserve your sponsorship today! Individual "rush" tickets may be available for $200 each several weeks prior to the event. If you have questions or would like to reserve your sponsorship or "rush" tickets for the Gala, please contact Megan Zwolenski at mzwolenski@laurabaker.org.
