As the Founder and Executive Director of Raising Harts, I am filled with gratitude and excitement as we prepare for this year’s Harts for Autism Gala. What began as a small dream rooted in connection and community has grown into an evening that truly reflects the heart of our organization and the incredible families we serve.

This gala is more than a celebration. It is a moment to come together, to honor the strength, joy, and resilience of the autism community, and to recognize what is possible when people show up for one another. Each year, I am reminded how powerful it is to gather in a room filled with compassion, understanding, and shared purpose.

I am so looking forward to celebrating with you at this year’s gala and sharing an evening that fuels the work we do all year long. Thank you for being part of the Raising Harts community. I cannot wait to see you there!
