If you’re in Northeast Ohio, this is a night to celebrate inclusion, community, and the strength of families. The Sunburst Gala is the signature fundraising event of the Down Syndrome Association of Northeast Ohio, created to shine a light on the people and programs that make a lasting difference.
When you attend, you’re supporting services that help individuals with Down syndrome and their families thrive—by expanding programs, strengthening professional support, and meeting growing community needs. The evening is designed to feel celebratory and welcoming, while keeping the mission front and center.
You can expect an elegant dinner with a hosted bar, silent and live auctions, raffle packages, and dancing with DJ Nick Duve. Complimentary valet parking helps make the night easy from the moment you arrive.
If you want to be part of a community that believes everyone deserves the chance to shine, this is the event to attend. Register here via the official event page.
We are excited to announce our Honorary Chairperson for this event!
Denise is blessed with Camila Busic, her almost three-year-old niece who is inquisitive, fun to be with and so loving. Camila has taught the entire family that Down Syndrome is such a positive. Camila’s openness reminds them what unconditional love looks like. It’s pure, simple, and constant. Denise’s family also better knows how to slow down and celebrate all wins big and small.
