8th Annual Ray of Hope Gala
Benefiting Friends of South Florida Autism
Guests included members of the local business, civic, and philanthropic communities, and professionals from the local autism community, as well as families of individuals diagnosed with Autism. One of the highlights of the night included a special performance by two South Florida Autism Charter School student’s who performed “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Megan Trainor. Dr. Tamara Moodie, Executive director of FSFA, and also the SFACS Principal stated it “is important to include this performance so we can demonstrate to our guests the amazing potential of all our students.”
The evening included a silent auction and live auction packages to New York and Napa Valley, and was a great success. Event revenues will support the capital campaign to build a new facility for South Florida Autism Charter Schools, Inc., and South Florida Autism Center, Inc. This facility will provide a school program for 300 students, as well as a wide range of community outreach services including early intervention, a therapy clinic, adult programming and job placement, out-of-school services, a family fitness center, and professional development opportunities.
