A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors, teams, and supporters for making this year’s Bowl-A-Thon a SOLD OUT success! ❤️

We’re now 53% of the way to our $35,000 fundraising goal, and we need your help to get there.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Support a team today and reach our fundraising goal together!

As the Appropriations Committee considers FY 27 budget adjustments, it is essential that funding for the Connecticut Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is protected and strengthened.

Community-based services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are cost-effective and proven to provide the highest quality care.

These services touch every legislative district and are vital to helping individuals live safely, work meaningfully, and fully participate in their communities. 

Every voice matters. Whether you’re a family member, caregiver, direct support professional, or part of a local Arc chapter, your perspective can make a difference.
