What an amazing way for SEASPAR to rock the start of 2026 — warming our hearts as we prepare to honor the incredible community that lived and breathed our theme all year long in 2025: Where Every Hero Has a Story — and You Are the Star.
This guiding message wasn’t just words on paper — it became the pulse of our programs, the glow in our celebrations, and the courage behind every achievement. Our participants shined, our families stood proudly beside them, and our volunteers and staff lit the path with love and dedication. Together, we created a year of stories that deserve to be held, celebrated, and remembered.
And now, as we close this chapter of heroes and stars, we stand at a beautiful threshold.
Four decades behind us.
A fifth decade beginning.
A milestone year ready to rise with a new rhythm — SEASPAR’s 50th anniversary, where we proudly continue playing the sound of inclusion.
With that spirit, we invite you to the Believe & Achieve Recognition Banquet, a night that honors the heart of our mission: the people. This celebration is more than awards — it is a tribute to our journey, a spotlight on our community, and a joyful welcome to the next era of SEASPAR.
Are you excited to see who will rise to the podium this year? Then get your tickets, choose a glamorous outfit that makes you feel like the star you truly are, and join us for an evening of recognition, friendship, and dancing as we step together into SEASPAR’s sound of inclusion.
When: Wednesday, January 14, 5:30-9:00pm
