A Celebration of Ability, Inclusion, and Community Impact
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Life Styles is proud to host The Abilities Ball on March 20, 2026, at the Fayetteville Public Library, located at 401 W. Mountain St., Fayetteville, AR 72701.
The Abilities Ball is a fundraising gala devoted to celebrating the remarkable abilities of people with developmental disabilities whom Life Styles has proudly and enthusiastically served since 1976. Guests will experience a singular evening of inspiration—accompanied by delicious fare, music, dancing, and a spectacular performance by Life Styles clients.
The evening will be co-hosted by Morgan England of Bentonville formerly of Hope (hempstead County) and Life Styles Executive Director John Newman.
March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, dedicated to supporting the more than 17 million people worldwide living with cerebral palsy—the most common motor disability. Morgan England embodies the spirit of this month. As a non-verbal wheelchair user with cerebral palsy who communicates through a speech device, she continues to break barriers and lead through service.
Morgan volunteers with the Community Access Committee at Crystal Bridges and the Momentary, serves on the council for Achieve Community Alliance (formerly United Cerebral Palsy of Arkansas), and leads panel interviews for 99 Balloons, among other outreach organizations supporting individuals with disabilities. Her role as co-host reflects the mission of The Abilities Ball: empowering individuals to use their voices—however they communicate—and celebrating ability over limitation.
“This evening is about honoring the talents, leadership, and contributions of the individuals we serve,” said John Newman, Executive Director of Life Styles. “The Abilities Ball showcases what inclusion truly looks like in action.”
Proceeds from the event directly support Life Styles’ programs and services that enhance independence, community integration, and quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities across Northwest Arkansas.
