YAI Network spokesperson Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg and Phil Levy CEO and President of YAI Network

On Thursday night, more than 550 YAI Network supporters — joined by YAI Network spokesperson Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg, Miss USA Kristen Dalton and Tony-nominated actor Jonathan Groff — gathered at The Plaza Hotel to rally in support of vital services for people with developmental disabilities and their families. This year’s Gala centered around the theme “Now More than Ever…it Matters” and came as escalating budget cuts threaten essential services that people with disabilities count on every day for their independence and community inclusion.
