RODS Heroes Gala
Join us for a Night to Celebrate the Power of being Seen.
Every superpower starts with someone who refuses to give up.
Join us on Saturday, February 20th, 2027 at 7:00 PM at the Grand America Hotel, as we celebrate the strength, joy, and boundless potential of individuals with Down syndrome, and the community that champions them.
This year, we're honored to welcome Chris Nikic as our keynote speaker: the first person with Down syndrome to finish an Ironman triathlon. Chris didn't just cross a finish line; he redefined what's possible. His journey, 1% better every day, is a living picture of the tenacity, heart, and determination that fuel everything RODS Heroes believes in.
This is more than an evening out. It's a night to witness what happens when the world stops seeing limitations and starts seeing superpowers.
Come for an unforgettable evening and leave inspired to be part of a movement that's changing how the world sees Down syndrome, one story at a time.
