The first-ever All Abilities Block Party, held at Lake Anne Plaza, created a welcoming space where the community could learn, connect, and have fun together, regardless of ability. Entertainment, interactive activities, and resource tables helped bring the vision to life.
This Easter, January (first photo) and her family met with her nephew, Grayson (second photo, left), who plays baseball for the Duke Blue Devils. Wearing Grayson’s jersey while he played, January danced to every player’s walk-up songs and energized the entire stadium.
