This year’s 2024 Spring for Abilis Gala
co-chairs are Afton Fraser of Greenwich, Gena Mann of
Weston, and Hillary Sollinger of Fairfield, who are all
parents of young adults with disabilities living in one of
Abilis’ newest residences and participate in Abilis’ day
support programs. These families have directly experienced
the important work that Abilis does throughout lower
Fairfield County and are thrilled to support the
organization in such a meaningful way. Funds raised at the
2024 Spring for Abilis event will support new initiatives at
Abilis.
“We are so excited for this year’s Spring
for Abilis Gala,” noted Amy Montimurro, CEO and
president of Abilis. “Spring for Abilis will be at a
new location this year at the Greenwich Country Club, a
longtime supporter and partner of Abilis. Greenwich Country
Club has been part of the Abilis Competitive Employment
program, employing several of our Abilis community members,
and we are excited to hold our favorite springtime Gala at
their beautiful club.”
