DRA’s successful 2025 Chicago Celebration was on September 25th at City Winery — West Loop. Members of the disability community, the legal industry, and representatives from so many other Chicagoland groups gathered to enjoy delicious appetizers, sip wine, and toast the DRA community. Together we celebrated DRA’s work to bring about equal access to healthcare, safe sidewalks, and housing in Chicago. Pictures from DRA’s 2025 Chicago Celebration.
