For 43 years Citizen Advocates has worked to make a difference in the lives of people in Washington County by creating relationships that see beyond disabilities. 

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the Gala is being postponed to a later date. We are still trying to decide when it would be best to reschedule and we will let you know when a new date is chosen! Your support is more important now more than ever!!

We have a great group of dancers anxiously waiting for this to be over so they can put on their dancing shoes!!

For the 10th year, we are excited to invite you to celebrate our partnerships in the community at the Diamonds, Denim & Dancing For a Difference Gala! The event will be held on Friday, May 8, 2020 at the Chandelier Ballroom in Hartford and should not be missed! This year’s event will feature competitive dancing, silent auction, dinner, entertainment and few new surprises!

This event is Citizen Advocates largest yearly fundraiser and community support is the key to our success. The support of local businesses and individuals like you that step up each year allows us to help create relationships with people with disabilities all over Washington County in new ways.

By becoming a gala sponsor or advertiser, you will receive many benefits. Full details on levels and benefits can be found on the attached sponsorship form.

As we strive to make our 10th gala year the most successful one yet, we would be honored to have you as one of our supporters! Over the last year, your support has allowed us to grow our programming to serve over 200 students monthly, including programs in 4 area middle schools and high schools, as well as a youth respite program that serves students and families from all over Washington County. Our CA Core program is expanding adult services and is having a great response! Your support will allow us to continue to grow these programs and touch more lives in our community

We hope you will join us as at this years Diamonds, Denim & Dancing For a Difference Gala!
