There’s something special about hearing directly from the people who make The Paige Awards what they are. 💙

Every year, we’re reminded that recognition can mean so much more than receiving an award. It’s being seen. It’s knowing your accomplishments matter. It’s having a room full of people cheering you on.

That feeling is what we hope every member of our community carries with them long after the night is over.

More memories from our 10th Annual Paige Awards. ✨

Belonging doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we create spaces with people’s needs in mind. 💙
At The You Belong Foundation, we serve individuals with disabilities, their families, and caregivers by helping create experiences that feel more accessible, welcoming, and supportive.
Because inclusion is more than being invited into a space. It’s being considered when that space is created.
It’s knowing your needs matter.
It’s knowing your family is welcome.
It’s knowing you don’t have to navigate everything alone.
That is the kind of community we’re continuing to build — one where everyone has the opportunity to feel seen, supported, and like they truly belong.
If our mission speaks to you, follow along, share our work, or connect with us to learn how you can support The You Belong Foundation. 💙

Special Movie Day is officially sold out!

Thank you to everyone who bought tickets in support of our event.

We can't wait to see everyone this Saturday!

Because here, you belong exactly as you are. 💙

Accessibility is more than whether someone can enter a building.

It's asking:

Can they participate?

Can they understand what's happening?

Can they communicate in the way that works best for them?

Can they enjoy the experience without constantly having to ask for accommodations?

Do they feel welcome once they're there?

Accessibility isn't an extra.

It's part of creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to participate. 💙

10/09/2026

Ten years of The Paige Awards means ten years of moments like this. 💙

The awards may be what bring us together, but the heart of this night has always been the people, their stories, their accomplishments, and the opportunity to make sure they know just how deeply they are seen and celebrated.

We’re still reflecting on so many special moments from our 10th Annual Paige Awards, and we’re grateful for every person who has been part of this journey with us.

Here’s to continuing to celebrate our community exactly as they are. ✨
