Center for Social Change proudly celebrated 32 years of service with an unforgettable celebration attended by 700 guests at Martin’s West in Baltimore. The evening brought together every direct support staff\, every person-served, administrative teams from across all programs and locations, and Center for Social Change board members. We were also honored to have representatives from the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration and Maryland’s Lieutenant Governor, Aruna Miller, in attendance.
The celebration began with a heartfelt slideshow highlighting Center for Social Change’s 32 years of service and the meaningful impact made alongside the individuals we support. An incredible jazz ensemble set the tone for the evening, creating an elegant and festive atmosphere.
Everyone enjoyed a gourmet three-course seated dinner featuring Caesar salad, cheese and crackers, steak and chicken accompanied by rice and a medley of vegetables, followed by a delightful assortment of mini desserts.
Raffle tickets were distributed to direct support staff, with exciting prizes including several 60-inch Samsung TVs, four iPads, and gift cards. After dinner, the jazz performance concluded and the DJ turned up the music, filling the dance floor with energy and celebration.
It was truly a remarkable evening—one filled with joy, gratitude, and unity. Having the entire Center for Social Change community gathered under one roof, alongside state officials, was a rare and special moment that made the night even more meaningful.
