The Barbara Stone Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on creating and supporting visionary programs for individuals with disabilities, is hosting Barbara’s Birthday Bash to honor the life and legacy of Greenville’s first champion for individuals with disabilities. Barbara’s Birthday Bash will raise money for the Barbara Stone Foundation, which Stone started in 1991, and after almost 35 years, is still identifying gaps in services, investing in or creating innovative programs and leveraging partnerships in the community.
“Birthday Bash is a wonderful way to see and learn about the impact the Barbara Stone Foundation has made and is making every day for individuals with disabilities who face unnecessary barriers and often struggle to be seen, heard, valued, and included,” said Lara Ceisel, Executive Director of the Barbara Stone Foundation. “This special evening isn’t possible without our sponsors and supporters, and money raised at Birthday Bash will help us continue our work as a champion and fierce advocate for individuals with disabilities.”
The 2025 Barbara Stone Community Leadership Award will be presented to an individual who has shown the same commitment, initiative and spirit as Barbara at the Birthday Bash.
