Annual Awards Lunch

Our Annual Awards Lunch celebrates the work and people of CCS, and the community that makes it all happen.

If you support our vision of "a community where everyone participates and belongs," then join us for this exciting and inspiring event.

A true grassroots success story, CCS was founded by the families of Vermonters with developmental disabilities and has emerged as a national leader in its field.

The CCS Annual Awards Lunch honors CCS' mission and work, six people whose leadership contributed to a more just and inclusive community, and six people who carry on that spirit. Best of all, funds raised at this event go directly to CCS programs.
