  • Happy 25th Anniversary to SAY! 🎉🎂 It’s our birthday, woohoooo!!!!
This major milestone reflects a quarter-century of empowering young people who stutter and building a supportive community where their voices can truly shine. 🌟
Looking back to that very first Saturday in 2001, we gathered on West 54th Street in New York City with a remarkable group of courageous teenagers. Fast forward 25 years: we’ve hosted hundreds of life-changing programs and performances, and raised millions of dollars to provide free and “pay-what-you-can” speech therapy and summer camp experiences.
Thank you to our incredible community, friends, supporters, and collaborators who have stood by us along the way. We celebrate this milestone with all of you! ❤️
Stay tuned, and let’s make this 25th anniversary our best year yet!
