Thank You for an Incredible Artful Evening!
Wow, what a night! We LOVED seeing our members beam with pride as they showed off their work at last night’s Artful Evening.
A whopping 146 pieces of member artwork were sold, with 70% of each sale going straight to the artist. Thanks to all of you, we raised over $6,000 for our members with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
CEL members are our #1 priority
We encourage and support their self-advocacy as they discover and achieve their desired path in life. We are an inclusive and welcoming organization. We place a high value on our families, community partners, donors, volunteers and all stakeholders as they work together to enrich the quality of life for our members.
