Autism Speaks is a national nonprofit organization committed to promoting solutions for individuals with autism and their families through advocacy, support, and research. As the largest autism research organization in the U.S., Autism Speaks continues to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism.
The gala aims to further the organization's mission while addressing the systemic barriers many families face in accessing care.
"When my son Orion was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at two years old, I knew I had to do more than just learn-I had to advocate," said Shenice Drakeford. "This gala is not just about raising funds; it's about creating a space where families feel seen, supported, and empowered."
Guardian United Group is currently seeking corporate and community sponsors to help amplify the event's impact. Sponsorship packages include brand placement in event materials, VIP seating, and speaking opportunities. For sponsorship inquiries, contact info@guardianunitedgroup.com [mailto:info@guardianunitedgroup.com].
The evening will feature a VIP reception, cocktail hour, dinner, silent auction, and a heartfelt program spotlighting the voices and experiences of individuals with autism and their families. All proceeds will directly support Autism Speaks' advocacy, educational programs, and family services.
