This event is held in honor of the successes and triumphs of our community individuals with autism who have benefited from the quality services they have had access to.


We also acknowledge the efforts of their families who have advocated for them.

Some features of the event include, creating awareness to families of active and available organizations and the services they provide for families touched by autism, and an evening supporting the recreational needs of our families by providing many fun and entertaining family friendly activities, carnival games, performances, and delicious food and beverages.
