The Stars Are Out - Talent Show

We are proud to co-sponsor this event with Carolinas Hospital System again this year and are very excited about the talented performers and artists who are participating. By focusing on their abilities, it provides us the opportunity to support and highlight the abilities and talents of individuals with physical and cognitive disabilities and share them with others. Everyone is invited to come out and show their support for these performers.
