MDLC celebrates Breaking Barriers, our annual event to celebrate inspiring advocates who “break barriers” for people with disabilities, paving the way for full integration into community life. Guests enjoy fantastic food, drink and music; mingle with fun, interesting and caring folks; and see the presentation of our Breaking Barriers achievement awards honoring advocates in the struggle to secure legal rights for people with disabilities.
