The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is pleased to announce that its second annual Spring Fundraising Gala in Berkeley, California set to take place on Saturday, May 14, 2011 was met with an overwhelming amount of support from the deaf and hard of hearing community, especially in the Bay Area and corporations that support our organization's mission. The event sold out in advance of its deadline.

The theme of this year's gala is "Celebrating a New Era of Leadership" in recognition of new leadership at the NAD with incoming Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Howard Rosenblum. The program features NAD President Bobbie Beth Scoggins, Marlee Matlin, Academy Award winning actress, NAD CEO Howard Rosenblum, rock star TL Forsberg, nationally-known comedian CJ Jones, and Hollywood celebrities Anthony Natale and Shoshannah Stern.
