At this year’s Celebrate Ability Gala, one of our lucky raffle winners took home Chicago Blackhawks tickets—and they recently made it to the game! 🎉

We’re thrilled to hear they had an amazing time, and moments like these remind us why our mission matters. Every raffle ticket purchased, every sponsorship, and every donation helps NWSRA & SLSF create opportunities for individuals with disabilities to experience joy, inclusion, and independence—both on and off the ice.

Because when our community comes together, everyone gets a chance to shine.
