Our annual fundraising gala is an evening of celebration that also fosters fellowship and a deeper connection to the community. Each year, we honor at least one family with an unrestricted financial gift to use on autism care. These funds can be used on a broad range of family needs from therapeutic interventions to relaxation and respite for caregivers – we believe those living with autism, and those caring for someone with autism both deserve to have their needs met.
Since 2022, we’ve awarded $2000.00 to two local families – and we look forward to honoring another in 2024, with your support. Meet our previous honorees below.

Kingston was born in October 2019 right before the entire world shut down. We started questioning his development once we noticed he wasn’t hitting the speech milestones. Then shortly after picking up on lack of speech, we noticed a little bit of stemming with his hand around 2 years old. He was diagnosed with autism in June 2023
