About The Event

This year we celebrate everyone on the Autism Spectrum and focus on their struggles to become accepted in our communities as employed individuals. We are also observing our organization’s 11th Anniversary!

Each year our dinner recognizes the wonderful people who keep our organization viable, those who make major contributions to our local community, and our clients who persevere despite the odds against them. This year we emphasize once more the talents and value that Aspergian adults could bring to their jobs, were they given the opportunity.

For more, please check out our About page.

The 2023 Annual Fundraiser

Dinner of Hope

We call our yearly fundraiser DINNER OF HOPE because we offer hope to those who, through no fault of their own, have been struggling with employment issues and life in general.

This year we focus on Aspies and their efforts to try to become viable members of society through gainful employment.

The intention of our event is (as it has been from the onset) to raise awareness about the need for employment of adults with Asperger’s Syndrome and to raise funds to enable us to help as many people as possible. The Dinner of Hope is also a time to celebrate our successes of the past years and to look forward to more triumphs in the future.
