At Venture Together, we believe something simple, powerful, and profoundly true: every child, every adult, every person with a disability is our family.šŸ’™

This belief, shared by founding member John Murphy and lived out for 55 years, guides everything we do. As John said when accepting our Thriving Together Lifetime Achievement Award:
ā€œWe all exist to take care of somebody who needs to be cared for… Every child born with a disability is our child.ā€

For families caring for loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities, love is endless—but so is the question of who will be there when help is needed. That’s why Venture Together exists: to be the community no family can build alone.

As the year comes to a close, please consider making a gift to help every Venture family thrive:

Thank you for being part of the Venture Together family. šŸ’™

Ranging from classic holiday hits to show-stopping group numbers, our performers shined brightly, and our Venture community couldn’t have been prouder.

Want to see more? We’re putting together a YouTube highlight video so you can see all the magic, so stay tuned!

Spreading Thanks and Kindness— Together šŸ’›
Venture’s Kindness Club is full of thanks-giving this season as we find new ways to support our community and surrounding neighborhoods.

On a beautiful, sunny morning, our crew delivered donation bags to more than 100 homes for a local Thanksgiving Food Drive in Fort Montgomery, NY. Each bag gives community members the support they need this holiday season.

What an incredible evening! 🩷
From heartfelt tributes to inspiring stories of growth and community, Thriving Together was a celebration of everything that makes Venture Together special—compassion, resilience, and the belief that every individual deserves the chance to live an extraordinary life.

We’re deeply grateful to our honorees George Hoehmann, Andy Krutman, Rev. Dr. Brandon D. McLauchlin, and John Murphy for embodying the spirit of care and inclusion, and to Paul Adler, our Master of Ceremonies, for leading us through such a memorable evening.
