On one side of the venue, guests at the adult gala will enjoy tasty bites prepared by local chefs and their Best Buddies sous chef while bidding on fabulous auction items and supporting Champion Candidates in their competitive fundraising quest to be crowned the ultimate Champion of the Year. Meanwhile, just steps away in the atrium, students and Best Buddies participants with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) will dance the night away at a fully inclusive Homecoming experience created just for them.
