One Step Beyond, Inc.-a leading provider of comprehensive programming and services for adults who have intellectual disabilities-invites the Valley community to celebrate the organization's journey and experience the future at the 2024 Help Us Grow (HUG) Gala. The event will take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on October 12 at OnJackson in Phoenix.

Simone Cuccurullo, anchor of Arizona's Family Good Morning Arizona, will emcee the 2024 HUG Gala, which will raise critical funds to support the organization's transformative programs and services that ensure that people with intellectual disabilities in the Valley community are fully included in all areas of life.

"Whether One Step Beyond individuals are securing meaningful employment through OSBI job programs or taking the steps to enroll in college and eventually graduate through OSBI's life skills program, the HUG Gala opens the doors for a celebration of these accomplishments and offers the community a chance to support and contribute to the diverse talents and programs of OSBI participants to further advance programs and empower individuals," said One Step Beyond CEO Madison Blanton. "You won't want to miss this uplifting night."

The H.U.G. Gala is black tie optional and will kick off with a cocktail hour from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. before attendees enjoy dinner and a program featuring a silent and live auction and performances from OSBI participants. Catering services will be provided by the One Step Beyond Catering Program.

The HUG Gala honors One Step Beyond's participants and their achievements as well as advocates who are not only raising awareness but challenging the misconceptions and stigmas surrounding disabilities. Scottsdale resident Anna Sepic of LevRose and Scottsdale resident Tyler Smith of Kidder Mathews will both receive the annual HUG Award in recognition of the positive impact they have made on the lives of people with intellectual disability.
