Something So Worth It Marketplace 2024

We were thrilled to sponsor the 4th Annual Something So Worth It Marketplace! This incredible event brought together the community to celebrate inclusion and support young entrepreneurs with disabilities. The energy was contagious, and it was heartwarming to see so many families enjoying the festivities.

From the colorful vendor booths showcasing the children’s talents to the exciting activities like the bounce house, mini horses, and face painting, there was something for everyone. We were particularly impressed by the dedication and creativity of the young vendors, and we were proud to play a role in helping them showcase their products and raise funds for a worthy cause.

The Something So Worth It Marketplace was a resounding success. It’s an event that truly embodies the spirit of community and makes a positive impact on the lives of children with disabilities.

One of our Lerner and Rowe Give Back team members shared the following about the 2024 All Abilities Marketplace, “I loved this event! So cute, small in size but perfect–Think HUGE party for kids with disabilities. Those children are not usually invited to things and she organizes an event so they can enjoy the things everyone else does.” 

We encourage everyone to learn more about Something So Worth It and consider supporting their mission at somethingsoworthit.org/marketplace. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all children.
