🥚We are already counting down to our annual ConnectAbility Egg Hunt and we seriously cannot wait.

This is one of our favorite days of the year. A day designed with intention. A day filled with laughter, sensory-friendly fun, smiling families, and a whole lot of love for our special needs community. 💛

🗓 March 28
⏰ 2–4 PM
⚠️ Registration Deadline: MARCH 8

We want to serve your family well, which means registration is required so we can prepare every detail with care. 🐣💛

If you have a child with special needs, this event was created just for you. And if you’ve been before… you already know it’s more than an egg hunt. It’s connection. It’s belonging. It’s joy.
