Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center Announce Return of the Crystal Ball Dance

SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, June 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center (SARC) are excited to announce the return of the 2nd Annual Crystal Ball Dance on June 20, 2026. Inspired by feedback from individuals served by Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center, the event brings together adults with developmental disabilities, their families, caregivers, and supporters for an evening of dancing, connection, and celebration. Following the overwhelming success of last year's inaugural event, which welcomed more than 150 attendees and reached capacity, organizers are once again opening the ballroom doors for an unforgettable evening of inclusion and community.

Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center are two of Silicon Valley's leading organizations supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities through services, resources, and opportunities that help people thrive.

"At Hope Services, we believe that true inclusion means creating opportunities for people to connect, celebrate, and build meaningful relationships," said Aila Malik, CEO of Hope Services. "The idea for the Crystal Ball Dance came directly from the people we support, who told us they wanted more opportunities to socialize, make friends, and celebrate together. We were proud to partner with San Andreas Regional Center to bring that vision to life, and we're excited to welcome everyone back for another memorable evening of connection, fun, and community."
Building on the success of last year's inaugural event, organizers expect this year's Crystal Ball Dance to attract even more participants and further establish the event as a cherished community tradition.

"The enthusiasm we saw last year was incredible," said Javier Zaldivar, CEO of San Andreas Regional Center. "It showed just how much this event means to participants and their families. The joy, confidence, and connections that filled the room reinforced why opportunities like this are so important for our community."

Returning this year is DJ Kevin Ponce, who receives services through both Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center. His high-energy performance was one of the highlights of last year's dance, showcasing the talent, creativity, and leadership of individuals supported by both organizations.

The event is open to adults aged 18 and older served by Hope Services and San Andreas Regional Center, along with their family members and supporters.

"I had so much fun at the Crystal Ball Dance last year," said Maya, Hope Services participant and SARC Board Member. "I loved getting dressed up, spending time with friends, and meeting new people. I'm excited to come back this year, see familiar faces, and make even more memories."
