2025 Reach for a Star Luncheon

For over 40 years, the Reach for a Star Luncheon has raised funds to support the after-school and adaptive sports programs at the Henry Viscardi School, which educates children, K through age 21, with severe physical disabilities who often require life-sustaining medical treatment throughout the day. This specialized, accessible educational setting provides a fully-enriched academic program, a variety of therapies, assistive technology and medical supports to students who may otherwise need to receive instruction in their homes or a hospital setting.

The Reach for a Star Luncheon features an elaborate cocktail hour, a sit-down lunch, a Chance Raffle and Silent Auction, and an entertaining program. Last year’s Luncheon featured Broadway icon, Jarrod Spector. He’s currently playing King George III in Hamilton on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony Award for his role in Beautiful: The Carol King Musical. Other past special guest performers have included Ali Stroker (first Tony Award winner in a wheelchair); Chilina Kennedy (lead in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical); Hoda Kotb, co-anchor at NBC’s TODAY; the Angels from Kinky Boots; and Elise Testone, a finalist on American Idol.
