AABR’s 70th Anniversary Gala was an unforgettable evening, celebrating seven decades of
impact, growth, and community. Held at the Crest Hollow Country Club, the event
brought together supporters, families, staff, and friends to honor AABR’s legacy and look ahead
to a bright future.
The room was transformed with butterfly-inspired décor—AABR’s symbol of growth
and transformation—woven throughout in stunning blue and purple accents. The atmosphere was
both vibrant and meaningful, setting the tone for a night filled with pride and celebration.
Guests were treated to a special performance by the PWOW group, whose voices and energy
brought an added sense of joy and unity to the evening. Throughout the night, attendees had the
opportunity to support AABR’s mission in impactful ways, including the purchase of engraved
bricks and benches that will become part of the new Linden Garden—a lasting tribute to the
generosity of our community.
A highlight of the evening was the showcase of handmade artwork created by AABR’s
individuals. Each piece reflected creativity, talent, and personal expression, and guests were
proud to take home these meaningful works.
The gala was a powerful reminder of the widespread support behind AABR’s mission. Most importantly, the night was a celebration of everything AABR has accomplished over the past 70 years—honoring the lives touched, the progress made,
and the community that continues to make it all possible.
