About The Event

Each year, the New Jersey Self-Advocacy Project and the New Jersey Statewide Self-Advocacy Network work together to host the annual Spring Into Action Awards Luncheon. The event is an opportunity for Self-Advocates and Allies to network, learn about current advocacy issues, and celebrate the accomplishments of Self-Advocates over the past year. This year, we will host the Spring Into Action Luncheon virtually! 

Spring Luncheon Fundraiser

The 2023 luncheon will feature a fundraising staple: t-shirts! The proceeds will support the work of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our network across the state of New Jersey. 

T-shirts are available now for $25 at Bonfire.com
