Annual Gala 2025
Giddy Up Gala
Join us at our seventh annual fundraiser for Sun, Moon & Stars! Thanks to this incredible event, we are able to fund 75% of our events, activities, programs, and operations. Your generosity makes a meaningful impact on the lives of hundreds of autism families each year. THANK YOU!
Allison Demers, radio personality on The River 105.9, will be our Master of Ceremonies, and DJ Jazzy Kat will be rounding up the country tunes. Line dancing may be involved!

As the theme is "western," we encourage party-goers to dress the part in cowboy hats, boots and western gear (but, it's totally optional!).
The event will feature a cocktail party reception including pasta, hot and cold appetizers, dessert, and coffee.
Each guest will receive one (1) drink ticket for their choice of beer or wine, and there will be a full cash bar, which will feature our special cocktail for purchase - "Tequila Sunrise!"
More than 100 chance drawing items will be available.
