Last week at Black Gold Brewery in Petrolia, we gathered to celebrate the incredible businesses and organizations who stand beside LCDS and champion inclusion across our community.

This year’s celebration carried extra meaning. As we mark our 70th anniversary, our corporate partners have helped make every milestone unforgettable—from Fusion, to Pembina Trivia Night, the Lion’s Fish Fry, and the Basement Boss Murder Mystery. Each event was strengthened by the generosity and enthusiasm of the sponsors who believe in the work we do and the people we support.

To all of our event sponsors: thank you. Your partnership, your investment, and your belief in inclusive communities help create opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to thrive throughout Lambton County. Your support ensures that every event is more than a fundraiser—it becomes a space where belonging, connection, and possibility take centre stage.

It was a joy to share an evening of gratitude, entertainment, and meaningful connection with you, and with the people we all proudly support. Together, we continue to build a community where everyone has the opportunity to live, work, and participate fully.
