This Year's Theme: Advocacy + Activism
This year's theme reflects on our deep commitment to championing the rights and inclusion of individuals of all abilities and backgrounds. With the event taking place on Juneteenth, we are especially reminded the importance of ongoing advocacy - and together, we can make a difference.
More Than a Celebration
For 11 years, More Than You See has been more than just a night out. It’s a movement to raise awareness, lift voices, and support people with disabilities in living, working, and growing as independently as possible, starting right here in the Cedar Valley.
Funds raised during this event go directly toward vital services that promote independence, inclusion, and empowerment.
