On January 23, 2025, SAY will host its first-ever Benefit Gala in Washington, DC, featuring the incomparable Kelli O’Hara as host and performer.
From Carnegie Hall to Broadway to The Metropolitan Opera, The New York Philharmonic, and the Kennedy Center, Kelli O’Hara has graced stages and earned accolades as one of the brightest musical talents of our time. Over the years, as her status has risen, she has also been a devoted friend and supporter of SAY. Since 2004, when she was introduced to our work, Kelli has been an integral part of our organization. We are deeply honored that, for one magical evening in January, she will bring her unforgettable presence to DC, joining the amazing young people of SAY: DC in sharing their original songs and stories.
There could be no more fitting way to celebrate our phenomenal Honoree, Vivian Sisskin, recipient of the Budd Mayer Advocacy Award. Vivian is a champion for people who stutter, and her eminence in the field of speech-language pathology has made her a guiding light for generations of clinicians, teachers, researchers, and families alike. Her trailblazing contributions have positively impacted countless people worldwide. For over two decades, Vivian has been a steadfast supporter of SAY, and we are delighted to honor her.
This special event supports SAY’s mission to empower young people who stutter, ensuring their voices are heard and celebrated. We can’t wait to connect with our DC community and share this extraordinary night with you!
