This May, as we highlight the mission and impact of The Moore Center, we’re putting the spotlight on one of their most anticipated annual events—the Garden Party. More than just a fundraiser, the Garden Party is a celebration of community, inclusion, and the power of connection.

🌼 A Longstanding Tradition of Impact

Held each spring, The Moore Center’s Garden Party brings together supporters, families, community leaders, and partners to raise funds in support of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, acquired brain disorders, and those served through programs like Kinship and Early Intervention.

The event has become a beloved tradition, offering guests a chance to gather in a beautiful setting, hear inspiring stories, and show their support for the mission: Creating Opportunities for a Good Life.

🏅 Honoring the Benton Family

This year, The Moore Center proudly honors The Benton Family of The Executive Health & Sports Center at the 24th Annual Garden Party. Recognized for their unwavering dedication and selflessness, the Bentons have made significant contributions to the Greater Manchester community, both personally and professionally. Their commitment to uplifting and enriching the lives of others exemplifies the spirit of the Garden Party and The Moore Center's mission.

🥂 More Than Just a Party

Yes, there’s food, music, and plenty of flowers—but what makes the Garden Party truly special is the atmosphere of inclusion and purpose. Attendees often hear firsthand from the people whose lives have been changed by The Moore Center’s programs. These personal stories give powerful insight into how essential these services are—and how community support fuels that work.

💙 Your Support Matters

Proceeds from the Garden Party go directly toward expanding and enhancing the person-centered services The Moore Center is known for. From job training and independent living supports to early intervention and caregiver guidance, every dollar raised helps build brighter futures for those served.

Whether you attend the event, become a sponsor, or simply help spread the word, your involvement makes a difference.

“We believe that everyone deserves the chance to live a fulfilling, self-directed life—and our Garden Party helps make that possible,” says The Moore Center.

🌸 A Chance to Give Back

This year’s Garden Party promises to be as joyful and impactful as ever. As spring blooms around us, it’s a perfect time to gather and renew our commitment to building a community where everyone has a voice, a place, and a path forward.
