Our 15th Anniversary Gala on November 7, 2025, brought together nearly 100 friends and supporters at the Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle to celebrate fifteen years of Daybreak Independent Services and raise critical funds for our work supporting people in our community. We were thrilled to gather for a memorable evening that highlighted our collective journey, celebrated our milestones, and reaffirmed our deep commitment to empowering individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The evening featured a heartfelt program, including remarks from leadership and community representatives, historical presentations, an exciting fundraiser raffle, a live auction, and special performances. Congratulations to our honoree, Founder and CEO Mr. Vilas Loban, whose vision and leadership have guided Daybreak Independent Services throughout these fifteen years. Special thanks to our generous sponsors—including J.J.A. Holding Corp., LAMB Insurance Services, M&T Bank, Germain Consulting Services, PLLC, and Corporate Synergies—and to the individuals we support who shared their inspiring talents, showing our mission in action.
If you were unable to join us in person, you can still support our ongoing programs, workshops, and community advocacy. Please consider making a gift in honor of this milestone by donating here. Your contribution directly helps us continue expanding opportunities and enhancing independence for the individuals we serve.
