On December 13th, Adjacent Space hosted the Holiday Captioned Movie Drive-in and it was a success! Did you know that Drive-In movies are not required to provide captioning under the ADA? We're thrilled that we were able to make the event accessible for everyone! Thank you all who came, donated, and supported this event! It sucks that the event was rainy, but we want to host the event again when it's warm out! We would like to express our gratitude to Regions Bank and Sorenson for sponsoring this event!  Again, thank you all who donated, came to the event, and supported us! We truly had a great time! We've fundraised over $1,000 Through this event Adjacent Space was able to host an event that otherwise would not be accessible and fundraise for future Adjacent Space activities.  It was a little rainy but the event was great! We’ve raised over $1,000 to help support our programs and maintenance! To help support our programs, interpreters, and maintenance to keep this organization running!
