This dance is only possible thanks to the generosity of local partners. With food from Sonny’s BBQ, drinks from Tap the Coast, music by AnyDayDJ, and The Sanctuary opening its doors as host, The Arc Gateway can create a night of fun, connection, and inclusion for adults with disabilities in our community.
Without these sponsors, this event could not happen. It is because of what these local businesses are bringing to the table that The Arc Gateway is able to host events like this and provide meaningful experiences for the people it serves.
The Arc Gateway will host an inclusive 80s Dance Party on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at The Sanctuary Event Venue. The event is free for adults 18 and older living with a disability, but pre-registration is required.
Each participant is asked to have a buddy to ensure a safe and fun evening. If a participant does not have a buddy, The Arc Gateway will assign one at the event.
The Arc Gateway is actively recruiting volunteers to help make the event a success. Roles include setup, check-in, dance floor support, cleanup, and more! Volunteers should bring energy, kindness, and a willingness to help guests have a great time.
Guests will enjoy food provided by Sonny’s BBQ, drinks by Tap the Coast, and music from AnyDayDJ. The event is hosted by The Sanctuary.
