CP Community Day 2026

Over 500 members of the CP community joined us for a day of fun, food and friendship on CP Community Day 2026. With over 30 activities ranging from adaptive sports to family resources to botanical mocktails, this was our biggest event dedicated to the cerebral palsy community. We were joined by many old friends and new faces, and are truly grateful for the support of the community. CP Community Day was held on Saturday June 6th, 2026, on Haven Plaza, an accessible outdoor space on the Columbia University Medical Center campus.

We want to say a special thank you to Tony Dragons Grille for supplying our delicious food, and our presenting sponsor, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP for making this event possible.

Our day was filled with activities selected especially for the CP community, including health screenings, adult resources, school options, therapy animals and many more. We also enjoyed food from our gourmet food trucks as well as prizes and giveaways from our generous sponsors. 

The neurodiverse artists from Dancing Dreams and Cambridge Common Voices delivered the highlights. They roused our crowd by inviting them to join in their performances.

We are grateful to our sponsors, activity partners and volunteers for making CP Community Day possible!
