We close the workshop with a guided meditation. (Yoga equipment will be provided.)

7:00pm AWARDS PRESENTATION!
This year we will be honoring a very special guest with the 1st Annual Illumination Award for her work raising awareness about OCD and fighting stigma through her staggeringly funny and honest stand-up comedy. Please join us in welcoming comedian Maria Bamford, who will be accepting her award in person at the Saturday Night Social! We will also be honoring IOCDF Hero Award Winner, Margaret Sisson, for her grassroots advocacy work on behalf of the Foundation and the entire OCD community.
It’s time for our yearly OCD Fashion Show and Karaoke experience for kids and teens. Have a blast while learning how creating wacky clothing and hairstyles can help you fight OCD. Participants will get an ERP- based makeover and compete for the title of the Best OCD-Fighting Fashion Show Contestant. Rap artist MC Hoffman and musicologist DJ Spielman will again lead the OCD karaoke singers, who will compete in an American Idol-style karaoke ERP competition to their favorite pop songs. With the support of fellow attendees, their cheering parents, and new friends, models on the catwalk and the OCD singers will learn how to fight OCD and think about exposure exercises in a whole new way.
