The DBHIDS “My City, My Place” Brighter Futures Awards are a celebration of inclusion, belonging, and the power of everyday people making extraordinary impact.
For 33 years, the DBHIDS Division of Intellectual disAbility Services and its Public Awareness Committee have honored those who go above and beyond to make sure people with intellectual disabilities and autism are supported, valued, and included.
The people we are recognizing today are our neighbors, coworkers, mentors, advocates, and friends. They are building relationships, sharing their talents, and showing us what’s possible when we lead with love and purpose. They help people find fulfilling jobs, meaningful connections, opportunities to grow, and moments of joy.
