🎉 👏 IL x The Center: Friday Night Social Edition 👏 🎉
The 2025-2026 Center for Leadership & Service Community Engagement Reception took place on Friday, and we had the privilege of joining in on the celebration. We’re proud to call @thecenterfsu a loyal community partner, and were thrilled to help recognize each and every student leader and community partner for their ongoing participation and dedication to the Tallahassee area.
Our Independence Landing residents had a great time mingling with all the friendly faces that filled our clubhouse, making for an evening that will be remembered for many Fridays to come. We are so grateful for your commitment to Independence Landing and our community. Community involvement means the world to us, and makes what we do possible. We are so grateful to The Center for being a part of that. Thank you for allowing us to participate in such a meaningful event. 💚
Happy Easter from our Independence Landing family to yours! 🐣💚
19 years ago, the UN designated April 2nd as World Autism Awareness Day, kicking off the start of Autism Acceptance Month, where we will be celebrating under the theme, “Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value.” While neurodiversity has become a word that most people are familiar with, there is still work to be done. Neurodivergence can sometimes be invisible, making it good practice to spread kindness to everyone you meet. Not only today, but every day, should we listen to autistic voices, challenge stereotypes, and focus on understanding and inclusion. These practices will help us strive for acceptance, not awareness.
B3 Bash 2026: Oh, What A Night! 🫧🎉💚
March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, and we could not have asked for a better celebration. Our annual B3 Bash was held last Thursday, and was a beautiful display of the power of community. We raised our glasses. We raised our paddles. But most importantly, we raised money for a great cause. You helped us not only reach our donation goal, but greatly exceed it, and we could not be more grateful.
To every sponsor, supporter, volunteer, and team member that made this night possible, thank you. 🥰 Your kindness allows us to maintain a safe, affordable home for 58 adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, where our on-site support services and activities ensure that our residents receive the personalized support they need to achieve their goals and form lasting friendships, and our workforce development program provides real life employment, skills-building, and training opportunities.
Thank you for allowing us to create a world where everyone has the chance to live, grow, and succeed. We couldn’t do it without you. 🏡

B3 Bash: A Night to Remember 🫧 💌 🥂
Last night was the annual B3 Bash: Bubbles, Bites, & Brews, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Our Tallahassee community showed up and showed out, and the love we experienced is truly life changing. Along with our incredible sponsors, supporters, volunteers, and team members, it was a huge success that will fuel our impact for so many residents and families.
We raised our glasses. We raised our paddles. But most importantly, we raised money for a great cause. You helped us not only reach our donation goal, but greatly exceed it, and we could not be more grateful. The room was filled with passion, energy, and fire within to help others.
Because of your generosity, we’re able to continue providing safe, affordable housing for adults with a range of abilities—and making families’ dreams a reality. Hearing powerful testimonies and seeing our residents thrive was a reminder of the impact we’re making every day.
Thank you for being a part of something so special. 💛 We couldn’t have done it without you.

We are officially one day away from our annual B3 Bash, and our clubhouse is buzzing with excitement. The B3 Bash is more than a social gathering; it is a celebration of all that has been accomplished, and a toast to what is yet to come. In the two and a half years since our grand opening, we have strengthened our workforce development and culinary training program, opened The Press Café, expanded life-enrichment opportunities, hosted countless experiences, gatherings, and trainings, shared moments that build confidence and connection, and most importantly, became home to 58 adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. All thanks to your support.
From early mornings to long nights, we absolutely could not have pulled this off without the help of our incredible committee members, staff, and volunteers. Each and every supporter plants a seed of hope, blooming into a confident, flourishing community here at IL, where B3 Bash attendees will be able to feel the magic upon entering. Thank you for helping us create something so special. 💐
We can`t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow night. 🫧🍽🥂
