Beyond Incredible: a glamorous evening celebrating individuals of all abilities.

Help Us Gather (HUG) is a nonprofit with a mission to connect people with disabilities to social events and advocate for inclusion. Each year, HUG holds Beyond Incredible, a glamorous event to celebrate our friends with special needs.
.
Beyond Incredible is free for attendees with a disability and a guest to attend. This black-tie event includes a red-carpet entry, professional photos, glam stations for ladies, spiff-up stations for men, a catered dinner, an inspiring program, and dancing.
.
HUG holds this glamorous gala because we know how important it is for people of all abilities to experience special events. We want our friends with special needs to feel loved, pampered, and most of all, socially included.

Each year, HUG also selects four ‘HUG Celebrities’ who embody the qualities of Charitable, Fearless, Inspirational and Powerful. These four individuals exemplify positive qualities and act as role models in the community.
.
Becoming a HUG Celebrity is an opportunity for individuals with special needs to have a team of professionals help them accomplish a goal or achieve a dream. It’s also a chance to step into the spotlight and be celebrated for everything that makes you unique, beautiful and valuable. The HUG team has helped recipients build businesses, receive prestigious community awards, start a modeling career, meet their celebrity idol and much more.
