On April 5, 2024, we embarked on a magical journey at the KNOWAutism Foundation’s 2024 Gala, “An Enchanted Evening,” where fantasy and philanthropy intertwined. This gala wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of hope, where every twinkle of the night was a step towards supporting the autism community.

Imagine a night where your participation directly contributes to a brighter future for children and young adults with autism. At the same time, we were whisked away into a realm of dazzling entertainment and mystical elixirs. It was a unique blend of fun, fantasy, and meaningful support, creating an unforgettable experience as impactful as enchanting.

The 2022 theme, “As I Am, April in Paris,” is all about the power of acceptance and inclusion to improve the lives of children with autism, support their families and caregivers, and provide everyone the opportunity to thrive.

The evening included a cocktail reception, live auctions, dinner, musical performances, surprise guests, and more. We honored the 2022 KNOWAutism Sippi and Ajay Khurana Heroes Award recipients and recognized our corporate, community, and frontline heroes.

Autism now affects 1 in 36 children in the United States.

Children with autism have increased educational, medical, and behavioral healthcare costs, which often create a significant financial strain for families. However, early diagnosis and intervention can improve long-term outcomes and reduce the lifetime cost of care for children with autism.

We believe no child should be left untreated due to a lack of information, awareness, or financial resources.

We also believe that greater acceptance and inclusion of people with autism can improve their quality of life, reduce strain on families, and provide autistic individuals (and their families) the opportunity to thrive. Our programs are focused on increasing autism awareness, providing families with financial assistance, and supporting community programs that serve children with autism and their families.

The Gala is our largest event of the year, providing us with the funding and resources we need to carry out our mission to improve the lives of children with autism. By purchasing a table, tickets, or making a donation, you will play an essential role in ensuring the success of this event and the continued expansion of our work.

This event was a celebration of community, connection, and collaboration. Thank you for supporting us!
