The United Disabilities Services Foundation (UDSF) has announced that its annual gala, the Diamond Jubilee Gala, will celebrate the organization's 60 years of service in 2025. The gala will occur on Thursday, May 8, at the Lancaster County Convention Center, 25 S. Queen St., Lancaster.

This event will raise funds to support UDSF's mission to provide personal care and support services for older adults and people with physical disabilities. These services aim to enhance clients' independence and enrich their lives, along with the lives of their families and caregivers and the community.

Saquon Barkley, running back for the Philadelphia Eagles, will be in attendance at the gala. As part of the event program, Barkley will participate in a fireside chat-style interview conducted by Eagles insider Dave Spadaro. UDSF is selling tickets to a giveaway drawing; 10 winners will have the opportunity to attend a VIP meet-and-greet with Saquon prior to the start of the gala event.

Giveaway drawing tickets may be purchased at the UDSF corporate office, 2270 Erin Court, Lancaster, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays through Monday, March 31, 2025, or until sold out.

Alternately, they may be reserved at https://udservices.org/gala-raffle-saquon-barkley/ with payment made at a different time.

Winners will be chosen at random from the drawing, which will be livestreamed on Tuesday, April 1, on the "United Disabilities Services Foundation" Facebook page.

At the gala, attendees will enjoy a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvres followed by a full-course dinner with a cash bar. There will also be bidding opportunities on exclusive live and silent auction items, including three autographed items by Barkley, a wine pull, and more.

With a capacity of 500 attendees, the event is anticipated to be UDSF's largest gala event to date. For more information, visit http://www.udservices.org, email development@udsfoundation.org, or call 717-682-5575. Sponsorships are available.

Individual gala tickets are anticipated to go on sale by the beginning of March.
