The Ability Affair 2026

The Ability Affair is Easterseals' premier event to raise critical funds that support the life changing programs we provide to children, adults, and families living with disabilities.

This unforgettable evening of fun will be held Thursday, May 7th at The Fives Columbus, a beautiful event space overlooking the Columbus downtown cityscape. The evening features exclusive Together & Company cuisine and signature cocktails, and includes 10 silent auction packages, the return of the guest favorite gift card raffle, wine & liquor pull, the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artwork, and a special performance by Easterseals Chance to Dance participants.

You'll also have an opportunity to learn about our accomplishments in 2025 and how your support will help us achieve our goals in 2026. Join us for an evening of impact and inspiration to ensure Easterseals continues to deliver essential programs for children and adults across Ohio. With your presence, we can help create lasting change and offer hope to those who need it most. 

All proceeds raised through The Ability Affair directly support programs and services offered by Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio that make it possible for families across Ohio to thrive.

Every ticket comes with 2 complimentary drink tickets. VIP starts at 5:30 PM, General Admission starts at 6:30 PM. The event ends at 8:30 PM.
