The Abilis Youth Board hosted the 7th annual “Together We Shine” event for Abilis community members at Presbyterian Church in Greenwich Saturday night.
The fun, festive and inclusive event featured a Mardi Gras theme, plus a red carpet entry, dinner and dancing with a DJ.
Local area high school students from the Abilis Youth Board created the night of connection, fun and celebration, and attendees dressed up in semi-formal attire to dance the night away at the inclusive event.
