This year the Annual Fundraiser will feature Flame, a high-energy American cover band that performs globally, playing all your favorites, from the classics through today’s hits, including some originals. Flame consists of talented members who happen to have disabilities.

Throughout the night, dance to music by American cover band, Flame, enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres and two cash bars, capture the moment in our photo booth, play Musical Bingo, and receive one free ticket for our door prize!

Wondering what to wear? While this is a semi-formal affair, we encourage you to wear something fun (think bright colors) and don't forget to dust off your dancing shoes!

All funds raised go toward improving and expanding meaningful opportunities for those we serve to develop their own capabilities.

ENTERTAINMENT
Flame is a high-energy American cover band that performs globally, playing all your favorites, from the classics through today’s hits, including some originals. Formed in 2003, they gained popularity from their appearances on Good Morning America and in People Magazine. They have also been featured in Tokyo, Japan’s Daily Mainichi News, News-2-You, News Channel 10 and other news outlets around the world. Flame consists of 9 talented members who happen to have disabilities.

Flame’s mission is to change the world through music. They inspire people with disabilities and give hope to them and their families – hope that they can do great things and live a fun and fulfilling life. Flame’s performances help change how the public perceives people with disabilities and increase the awareness and acceptance of all people, regardless of their differences.

Flame has a busy schedule and performs more than 70 times per year, touring the greater Northeast area and beyond in a custom bus. Flame gives concerts at national and statewide conventions, corporate conferences, civic events, schools, dances, and private parties. Their repertoire includes more than 100 classic rock, pop, country, and blues songs from the past 50 years, as well as some original tracks. In 20 years of work, they have produced six albums and two singles.

The musicians of Flame have disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, blindness, and paralysis, but that doesn’t hold them back. They do what they love and change the world along the way. LEARN MORE about the musicians and their music!
