PCC proudly hosted its 12th Annual Family Dinner Dance—an evening that can only be described as magical. As members, families, and friends gathered together, the room filled with warmth, excitement, and the unmistakable sense of community that defines who we are. This special night gave us a chance to celebrate not only each other, but also a year’s worth of unforgettable moments.
Throughout 2025, PCC brought people together through countless meetups, dances, initiatives, and special events that highlighted the spirit of connection at the heart of our organization. During the celebration, we looked back on these incredible experiences with a touching photo montage filled with shining, laughing faces—moments of joy, discovery, and friendship captured across the year. It was a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do and how much our members mean to us.
The evening also gave us a chance to honor the extraordinary individuals who strengthen and uplift the self-directed community. This year, we proudly recognized Ashley Gazes and Kathleen Quinn, two remarkable women whose advocacy, leadership, and dedication continue to inspire all who know them. Their impact is felt far and wide, and it was a privilege to celebrate their contributions.
Of course, no PCC celebration would be complete without incredible music—and once again, DJ Luke kept the energy alive all night long. He was joined by Ari, our phenomenal drummer, whose talent brought an extra spark to the dance floor. Our members shared their talents with a show case of their artwork and by singing for us all!
Guests arrived dressed to the nines, waving light-up wands, sharing laughs, and showcasing their best moves. The joy in the room was contagious.The evening was made even more memorable by the wonderful setting at Stonebridge Country Club, where the delicious food and elegant atmosphere added just the right touch of sophistication to the festivities.
Most importantly, this night would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of PCC’s outstanding leaders and volunteers. Their commitment, creativity, and passion bring our community to life year after year, and we are deeply grateful for everything they do.
Here’s to another year of connection, celebration, and community. PCC’s 12th Annual Family Dinner Dance reminded us once again what makes our organization truly extraordinary—our members.
