Event Description:
Join the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition (CCDC) for an unforgettable evening of great music, mouthwatering BBQ, and powerful advocacy at our annual Beats & Eats! More than just a community gathering, this celebration showcases everything that makes the disability community strong, vibrant, and unstoppable.

Every meal ticket purchased and every dollar raised helps advance disability rights, remove barriers to equity, and create a Colorado where everyone can participate and thrive.

In addition to live entertainment from local favorite, Better Sensory Perception, and delicious food from Big Belly Brothers BBQ and Snowie Snow Cone, Beats & Eats will feature a vibrant Resource & Community Fair, bringing together organizations from across CCDC’s coalition that are working every day to advance disability rights, accessibility, health equity, and community inclusion.

Come enjoy incredible music, connect with community partners, explore valuable resources, and celebrate alongside advocates, allies, and changemakers who are building a future of inclusion and access.

If you would like to request a donated ticket or learn more, please contact Seyanna Hitt, Development Director, at sdhitt@ccdconline.org.

If you want to be more active in Colorado’s disability community, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Here you’ll find CCDC’s calendar that includes not only the events and meetings that we host, but also the events and meetings our staff attends – and you’re invited to participate in any of the items featured here! Some calendar items are opportunities for learning, others are spaces to advocate for change, and others are just for fun.

If you find something on this calendar that interests you, but you’re new to attending meetings or events like these, or you’d simply like more information, please reach out to info@ccdconline.org. We want to connect with you, and we want you to become more connected to the world of disability advocacy!
