| Able SC’s Fundable celebration honors those who aid our vision of making South Carolina into a national leader in access and inclusion for people with disabilities. After 30+ years, this year’s theme, "Charting the Waters," reflects the journey we've navigated together and the path that still lies ahead. Fundable is more than an event—it’s a movement. Your ticket supports life-changing programs, fuels year-round advocacy, and helps us push forward toward full participation for the 1.1 million South Carolinians with disabilities. Join us! |

| | | 2025 Fundable Band: Alexandria Carrico Introducing Alexandria Carrico with disabled and ally musicians from USC's School of Music. Carrico is a professor specializing in disability studies with a deep passion for dismantling barriers and stigma faced by people with disabilities. She is joined by Dr. Olivia Colomaio, a piano pedagogue dedicated to inclusive learning for all students and the Director for the Center of Piano Studies at USC; Andrew Tomlinson, a graduate of the USC Jazz Program and multi-genre guitarist, and Allwyn Edwards, a current student in the USC Jazz Program and burgeoning drum set player. Together, they represent disabilities across spectrums and allies of the disability community and are excited to bring their talents to the Fundable stage. Enjoy an evening of light music ranging from classical and folk to popular tunes you can boogie to as the night goes on! |

| | | | | Support us today, and come celebrate on November 7: We are ALL Able SC For nearly 32 years, Able South Carolina has been a critical force for disability rights, belonging, and the right to live on one’s own terms. As a disability-led organization, we don't just serve our community—we are the disability community. We Are All Able SC! Now, Able SC faces a real moment of crisis. We’re calling on allies, advocates, and community members to generously invest in disability empowerment and justice. Please invest in those most affected and impacted by policy decisions. When empowered and equipped, our disability community is truly a force to be reckoned with. We Are All Able SC is a crisis fundraising campaign to rally support for Able SC during a time of serious policy and funding threats to the disability community. Though Able SC has lost $800,000 in programmatic funding this year, we’ve worked tirelessly to recoup $450,000 in new private funding. Now - we need our community to stand with us and raise the remaining $350,000. We can’t stop the cuts but together - we CAN close the gap. Donate today. |
