On October 5th, 2019, ACEing Autism hosted our second annual Gala at the Griffin Club in Los Angeles. The event was a smashing success, with over 300 attendees raising over $125,000 in support of ACEing Autism’s mission to provide opportunities for children and young adults with autism to enhance their lives through tennis! Guests enjoyed a gorgeous cocktail reception under the stars presented by The Agency and Peroni, which featured interactive photo experiences provided by Tennis Channel and Head Penn. The event moved upstairs to the beautifully lit outdoor terrace, where we listened to captivating speeches during dinner from Pam Shriver and Emily Werman, as they shared the impact that ACEing Autism has had on their lives. We heard testimonials from Program Directors and families from around the country through a video featuring our recent US Open tennis clinic, who shared the multitude of ways that ACEing Autism impacts all of our lives. Relive this enchanting evening by browsing through photos on our ACEing Autism Facebook and Instagram Pages, and take advantage of some fantastic BUY NOW opportunities for a few amazing remaining silent auction items! ACEing Autism’s growth over the last 11 years from one initial program location in Wayland MA into a vibrant, national nonprofit organization with 81 locations in 29 states would not be possible without an incredible community of passionate volunteers and advocates like you.
