Save the Date! Join us in celebrating WID's 25th anniversary at this year's Ever Widening Circle, our annual gala featuring world-class performers with disabilities, on Friday, November 7, 2008. The event will be held in the main ballroom of the Oakland Marriott City Center, 1001 Broadway, Oakland, California.
Ever Widening Circle brings together friends of the disability community to celebrate disability culture and battle negative stereotypes of disabled people. The event also serves as a model for presenting entertainment that is accessible for all audiences. Recent performances have included comedian Josh Blue, then 13-year old composer and pianist Matt Savage, and internationally renowned AXIS Dance Company, comprised of dancers with and without disabilities (the links at the bottom of the page will take you to highlights and videos of past performances).
Check back soon for information about this year's headliner and tickets.
