Oak Leyden's Mighty Oak Event

 What A Night!

Mighty Oak was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiasm and energy brought by over 210 folks in that room as well as dozens of other donors in our community.  

This year's event raised an astonishing $164,955.90 for our services for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.  The setting (Riverside Golf Club) was lovely, Sixteen Candles and our very own Voices of Oak Leyden Choir provided high energy entertainment, and our Live and Silent Auctions were super successful.  But the star of the show was (and always must be) our mission, which has been loyally pursued by thousands of team members, volunteers, and family members over the past 70 years. Mighty Oak 2026 was a fitting tribute to that legacy.
