DABC has been hosting an annual fundraising gala called Swing Into Spring since 2013 and in 2017 we changed it to Fall Fling. Here’s a link to information about our 2017 gala, our biggest one to date, which featured CBC’s Stephen Quinn as our emcee and well-known entertainer David C. Jones. https://disabilityalliancebc.therightfitbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Fall-Fling-2017-Sponsorshipcompressed-1.pdf
