On September 19, 2026, our community came together for a 1960s-themed night of fun, music, and celebration in support of BHMA and our participants.
We're so grateful for our fabulous guests, sponsors, and supporters whose generosity provides crucial support for BHMA’s programs and participants.
A special thank you to our participant families who helped us reach 60% BHMA family participation—an incredible show of support from our community!
From the music and dancing to the auction, Groovy Grab, and paddle raise, the evening was truly a celebration of what we can accomplish together.
Thank you for being part of such a special night and for supporting BHMA!

-
Bring music to life through hands-on instruction, ensembles, and public performances
-
Open doors to meaningful vocational experiences that build purpose and independence
