Opening Night Dinner and MG Walk Awards
7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Location: Omni Ft. Worth
Bigger and Better in Texas!
To wrap up the first night of our
conference, enjoy some local flavor with Texas cuisine! Dress in your cowboy best if you'd like (cowboy hats, boots and Western-theme gear)! The dinner will feature
our MG Walk Awards ceremony to honor outstanding leadership and fundraising
efforts. After the dinner, famous comedian Josh Blue will keep the fun going. As a
comedian with cerebral palsy, he brings new perspective to living life with a
disability.
Following his groundbreaking win on NBC’s Last Comic Standing in 2006, Josh Blue has risen through the ranks to become a well-established headliner at venues throughout the world. In 2018, Josh crushed his set on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. In the same year, he was honored with a performance at the William H. Macy Gala at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada. He wrapped up 2018 by recording his fifth hour special at his home club, Comedy Works in Denver, CO. Josh does over 200 shows a year, continuing to spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with disabilities. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are alike.
