Join us on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at The Terrace for AbilityPath’s 35th Annual Authors Luncheon, celebrating authors, art, and abilities!

This milestone event will feature an extraordinary lineup of acclaimed authors: David Pogue, six-time Emmy Award-winning correspondent and New York Times bestselling author; Evelyn Skye, New York Times bestselling author; and Alka Joshi, New York Times bestselling historical fiction author. Together, they will share the inspiration behind their latest works, their creative journeys, and the stories that have captivated readers around the world.

Guests will enjoy an engaging author panel moderated by returning host Maureen Langan, have the opportunity to meet the authors, purchase their featured books, and have them personally signed.

More than an inspiring afternoon of literature and conversation, the Authors Luncheon is one of AbilityPath’s premier fundraising events, raising over $350,000 annually to advance our mission of fostering acceptance, respect, and inclusion for people with developmental disabilities and their families. Your generous support helps ensure children and adults with diverse abilities have access to life-changing programs and services. We hope you’ll join us for this special 35th anniversary celebration and be part of making an even greater impact.
