At The You Belong Foundation, our events are more than just gatherings. They’re safe, inclusive spaces where individuals of all abilities can connect, celebrate, and feel seen. Each event is thoughtfully curated to promote accessibility, education, joy, and a strong sense of community.
Whether it’s a sensory-friendly movie day, inclusive CPR & ASL classes, or our annual Paige Awards honoring local champions of accessibility, there’s something for everyone. We prioritize fun, learning, and meaningful impact at every level.
Open to families, caregivers, allies, and advocates.
All ticketed events directly support our mission and are tax-deductible.
Events take place across the Chicagoland area — check below for what’s coming next!

Proceeds fund audit scholarships, inclusive staff trainings, accessible materials, and community events across Chicagoland.
Tickets: $125 per adult • $40 per child.
Accessibility is central to this event. Request ASL/interpretation, captions, large print, step-free seating, a quiet room, or other accommodations at checkout.
