The Grant a Gift Autism Foundation provides advocacy, education, resources and research to aid those navigating neurodevelopmental challenges such as autism and their family members. The nonprofit organization provides comprehensive clinical services, including early diagnostics and vocational training.
The Grant a Gift Autism Foundation has supported over 6,000 families affected by neurodevelopmental obstacles. Brian Hager, Grant A Gift Autism Foundation–Ackerman Center's president, mentions, “[This fundraiser]...allows us to continue providing the youth and families we work with, with world-class diagnostic and treatment services, scholarships, vocational programs, family support and case management.”
The silent auction, dinner, wine pairing and live music performances contribute to the event's allure. Not only do guests participate in philanthropic endeavors, but they also connect over dinner with like-minded individuals who care to contribute to good causes.
“We’ve set a goal this year to raise $1 million, which will allow us to expand our reach and positively impact the lives of the more than 5,000 local children currently on our waiting list,” expresses Hager. Purchase individual tickets and entire tables at grantagift.com/events.
