Welcome to our Community Events page!
Every event you’ll find here supports MORE’s mission to create equal opportunities, promote acceptance, and empower adults with developmental disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives. Through our day programs, supported employment, and residential services, we focus on four key areas — employment, self-advocacy, health, and safety — to help those we serve achieve their fullest potential.
Join us at an upcoming event and be part of creating a more inclusive, supportive world for everyone!

For more than 20 years this annual themed event provides a unique and meaningful opportunity for clients to proudly showcase their art while providing a powerful platform to raise awareness for MORE’s vision of full inclusion.
Guests enjoy tastings from local wineries, breweries, distilleries, restaurants, bakeries, and caterers, who all come together to support MORE and make the night truly special.
The evening includes a raffle, live and silent auctions, but the piece de resistance is the client created original art for sale. The client artists featured are adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, with all proceeds from art sales going directly to them.
In addition live art demonstrations by the Something MORE Artists allow guests to experience firsthand the beauty created by their unique talents.
Art is a universal language, and its ability to connect people is particularly profound within the disability community. We look forward to you joining us and experiencing this connection during this wonderful evening.
