2025 Fundable: Charting the Waters
A Disability-Led Celebration - Annual Fundraising and Awards Gala
Able SC’s Fundable celebration honors those who aid our vision of making South Carolina into a national leader in access and inclusion for people with disabilities. For over 30 years, we’ve equipped, empowered, and advocated for disability rights—and Fundable is both a celebration of how far we’ve come and a bold look toward the future.
This year’s theme, "Charting the Waters," reflects the journey we've navigated together and the path that still lies ahead. Fundable is more than an event—it’s a movement. Your ticket supports life-changing programs, fuels year-round advocacy, and helps us push forward toward full participation for the 1.1 million South Carolinians with disabilities.
Join us for an unforgettable night as we spotlight the champions who are breaking down barriers and building a more inclusive world.

Live Entertainment
Introducing Alexandria Carrico with disabled and ally musicians from USC's School of Music. Carrico is a professor specializing in disability studies with a deep passion for dismantling barriers and stigma faced by people with disabilities. She is joined by Dr. Olivia Colomaio, a piano pedagogue dedicated to inclusive learning for all students and the Director for the Center of Piano Studies at USC; Andrew Tomlinson, a graduate of the USC Jazz Program and multi-genre guitarist, and Allwyn Edwards, a current student in the USC Jazz Program and burgeoning drum set player.
Together, they represent disabilities across spectrums and allies of the disability community and are excited to bring their talents to the Fundable stage. Enjoy an evening of light music ranging from classical and folk to popular tunes you can boogie to as the night goes on!
"The Cellar" - Mystery Wall
Back by popular demand, the mystery wine wall, now called "The Cellar" contains 100 reds, whites, bubbly, high end liquors, and non-alcoholic bottles and botanicals sure to delight! Will you draw red, white, or something else from the menu? Some bottle values have been as high as hundreds of dollars!
Exclusive to Able SC Fundable- The Golden Ticket Pull! Can you find a bottle of the 8-year Rye from Beyond Distilling? At Fundable, we will have the ONLY TWO bottles available in Columbia, SC, of this crafted beverage! A special thank you to them for their generous donation to "The Cellar" and for being the exclusive liquor supplier for the evening's bar!

New Features: Barrier-Free River & Able SC Mini Museum
Don't miss our newest additions! The Able SC Mini Museum is a room dedicated to telling the story of our nearly 32-year history; our progress, advocacy, and the achievements we've made, together, to advance inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of life throughout South Carolina and the nation.
The Barrier-Free River is an interactive water table where you can take part in "removing barriers" for people with disabilities. Show you’re ready to commit to supporting Able SC with a donation and take a “We are ALL Able SC” rock to symbolically remove barriers for our community. As the rocks are removed, the river will run more freely!
