Thank you to all who celebrated with us at the 49th Annual FDR Dinner at the Skirball Cultural Center on October 5th, 2024! The unforgettable evening highlighted DRLC’s victories and mission to champion the rights of people with disabilities, set in exquisite old Hollywood glamour with an elegant guest list, jazz band, and dynamic awards program.

We are grateful to our sponsors and community partners for a wonderful evening honoring Lauren Ridloff; Jennifer Kumiyama; Keker, Van Nest & Peters; Salesforce; and Toyota.
