With 1 in 110 children now being diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, the need for supports and services for people with autism and their families continues to grow. The Autism Society of Colorado's annual fundraising gala, Faces of Autism, offers attendees a chance to help meet that growing need.
This year's event will be the first of its kind to present awards to community members who make a difference in the lives of people with autism. Award categories include:
• Compassionate Youth
• Citizen of Distinction
• "Opening Doors" Business of the Year
• Outstanding Volunteer of the Year
• Outstanding Professional of the Year
Faces of Autism will also feature a one of a kind networking happy hour prior to the start of the event. This networking hour will allow professionals in the autism industry, or hoping to break into the industry, the opportunity to meet and greet, all for the benefit of a great cause.
$150 per person - Includes a Gourmet Plated Dinner, Premiere Silent Auction, Faces of Autism Program & Awards Presentation
