Independent Living Legacy Award
CRI's Independent Living Legacy Award recognizes exceptional service to advance the rights of people with disabilities and ensure their full participation in their communities. Our 2006 Award will be presented posthumously to Christopher Reeve. Jane Seymour and her husband, James Keach, who were his close friends, will accept the award in his honor. Major sponsors and VIP Ticket holders will be invited to attend an exclusive VIP Reception immediately prior to the event where they will have the opportunity to meet Ms. Seymour and Mr. Keach.
Birthday Celebration
In addition to celebrating our 30th Anniversary, we will celebrate Tom Farrell's 80th Birthday. Tom has advocated for people with disabilities in Sonoma County for over 50 years, and has served on disability committees on the State and National level.
