43rd Annual Capitol Tree Lighting
The Arc of Laramie County hosts the 43rd Annual Capitol Tree Lighting on December 3, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 11:45 AM at the Capitol Rotunda. This long-running event brings together state leaders, advocates, families, and community members to raise awareness for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The ceremony includes a tree lighting, performance by the East High Choir, and presentation on The Arc’s mission. For over four decades, this event has served as a cornerstone gathering that demonstrates Wyoming’s commitment to protecting fundamental human rights and advancing inclusion for all citizens.
Your attendance directly supports The Arc’s advocacy work and provides networking opportunities with state officials, community leaders, and students from across Wyoming. This is both a celebration of progress made in disability rights and a platform to engage with ongoing initiatives. The event offers concrete opportunities to learn about The Arc’s mission, connect with constituents, and demonstrate support for inclusion efforts statewide. RSVP required. Questions: 307-632-1209.

Building Community for All
For over 70 years, The Arc has championed the rights of people with disabilities to live independently with proper support and lead fulfilling lives as valued community members. Despite institutions still existing in 36 states that segregate and limit choices, we believe everyone benefits when people with disabilities are woven into the fabric of our communities. With the invaluable support of our members, caregivers, and neighbors, The Arc of Laramie County continues to be a beacon of hope for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Community integration isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for individuals with disabilities to develop a sense of belonging and contribute to a more inclusive society. In 2025, our team is planning various events that promote social interaction and community engagement, including movie nights, educational seminars, and community gatherings. These social activities serve as transformative tools that improve mental health, enhance learning opportunities, and increase physical well-being. Join our mission today by volunteering, donating, or attending an event to help create a more inclusive Laramie County where everyone can thrive.
