YAI Central Park Challenge

SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 2022

Naumburg Bandshell | Central Park

YAI's Central Park Challenge is one of the largest events in New York that celebrates people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Each year, this event raises funds that are vital toward YAI's mission to create opportunities for people with I/DD to live, love, work, and learn in their communities.

2022 will see YAI's Central Park Challenge return to the Naumburg Bandshell in New York City's iconic Central Park!
