There is extraordinary talent within every person — sometimes visible, sometimes waiting for the right opportunity to shine.
At VersAbility Resources, we see that talent every day. We see it in a student earning their first industry certification. In an artist discovering a creative voice. In an employee thriving in a meaningful career. In the quiet determination of someone building independence one step at a time. Our 2026 Annual Fundraising Gala, Hidden Talents, is a celebration of those gifts — and the inclusive community that makes them possible.
We’re thrilled to welcome internationally recognized speaker Jessica Cox — the world’s first licensed armless pilot — whose remarkable life and message will remind every person in the room what human potential truly looks like.
Guests will also enjoy a special live performance, a high-energy DJ, a delicious plated dinner, an exciting paddle raise, and more.
