Join us for the 35th Annual ADA Celebration, a powerful evening honoring the legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the leaders who continue to push its promise forward.

This milestone event celebrates individuals and groups who are advancing disability rights through bold advocacy, grassroots organizing, mentorship and community leadership. Together, we’ll recognize the progress we’ve made and recommit to the work still ahead.

Date: Friday, July 25, 2025

Location: The Denver Museum of Nature & Science

Time: 5:30pm to 7:00pm (MST)

Expect an inspiring night filled with celebration, connection and reflection. We’ll hear from this year’s award recipients, uplift stories from across the disability community and recognize the power of collective action.

Whether you’re a longtime advocate or new to the movement, we invite you to join us as we honor the past, celebrate the present and shape the future.

At CCDC, equity is at the heart of everything we do. In that spirit, we’re thrilled to share that thanks to generous supporters, we have a limited number of donated tickets available for those facing financial barriers. Your presence matters and we want to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation. If you’d like to request a donated ticket or learn more, please reach out to Seyanna Hitt, our Development Director, at sdhitt@ccdconline.org. We’re committed to making this event accessible to all who wish to attend.
