Join WID, our colleagues, friends and supporters at Ever Widening Circle, our premier gala celebrating WID’s work and disability culture, at the universally designed and award-winning Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, California.
Ever Widening Circle will include a cocktail reception, a short program with an awards ceremony honoring Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) and feature comedienne Geri Jewell, known from HBO’s “Deadwood” and as Cousin Geri on the NBC sitcom, “The Facts of Life,” the first person with a disability to have a regular role on a prime time series. Performing as a stand up comedienne since 1978, Jewell is famous for her ability to use humor to facilitate attitudinal change.
