Journey 2 Success, a Connecticut nonprofit dedicated to helping disabled entrepreneurs launch their next chapter, is hosting a one-of-a-kind fundraiser at Urban Lodge Brewery on Pratt Street, October 16th at 6 PM. Tickets are available now – just continue with this secure link!

The spotlight shines on the Darling Divas, Connecticut’s legendary Drag Queen troupe known for their hilarious shows, live singing, and unforgettable personalities. At this event, they’ll be hosting a lively round of Drag Show Bingo—where laughter meets competition, and every call of “BINGO!” helps raise funds to empower disabled entrepreneurs.

Founded by entrepreneur and educator Maria Chapman, Journey 2 Success offers mentorship, online training, and financial support to mid-career professionals with physical disabilities who can no longer thrive in traditional work settings. Maria’s story is one of resilience—after a sudden neuromuscular disease left her paralyzed, she rebuilt her career by creating her own business. Now nearly fully recovered, she’s helping others gain the same independence and control over their futures.
