You have the opportunity to change someone’s life.

Support the Friends of Independence Breakfast.
Give through Hudson Valley Gives.
Or go all in and do both.

However you give, the impact is the same. You’re helping people with disabilities live independently, find meaningful work, and participate fully in our community.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could do something that actually makes a difference,” this is it.

Pick your path. Make your gift. Be part of the reason someone moves forward instead of being held back.

Because “helping others” only matters if we actually do it.

We’re looking for community leaders who don’t just talk about impact… they invest in it.

The Friends of Independence Breakfast is on May 20, and this year’s theme says it all: The Power of YES. Because when businesses say yes to inclusion, opportunity, and access, real change happens.

Independent Living, Inc. is seeking sponsors to stand with us and support programs that empower people with disabilities to live, work, and thrive right here in our community.

This isn’t just a logo on a program. It’s visibility, credibility, and alignment with a mission that matters. From presenting sponsor to community sponsor, there are meaningful ways to show up and be seen.

If your business believes in redefining what’s possible, let’s talk.

Secure your sponsorship today or reach out to get involved:
https://myindependentliving.networkforgood.com/events

Or message Kelly Wright, Director of Marketing and Development directly at kwright@myindependentliving.org

Let’s make this a room full of people who said yes. 💪
