An Evening in Wine Country
at the Vintners Inn

This elegant and exciting event is our only fundraiser for the entire year and it funds all the activities of the PHA. We would truly love to see you all there to welcome you and join you in celebration for what PHA has and continues to achieve. PHA is one of very few organizations that receives no public funds or support and exists only to further the interests of California’s individuals with developmental disabilities. Your support for this effort is honored and appreciated!
