Art for Autism (AFA) 2016 is just around the corner, and coming together beautifully! The Gala Auction, Dinner and Dance will be held Saturday, October 1st at the beautiful Sheraton in Downtown Seattle. With stunning views of the Sound and the Seattle skyline, it is a magnificent setting to celebrate and support the work, cause, and mission of NBA. Our theme this year is “Glitz, Glamour and Gatsby”- this evening promises to be dazzling, and will highlight the extraordinary work of NBA staff, and the real and significant difference they make in the world of each child they serve.
Come for the gorgeous setting, the fantastic food and music, the amazing array of items, and the shared purpose, as well as the company! This event is a great way to meet and connect with other NBA parents, friends and community supporters.
Our goal this year is to raise $200,000. We can do it with your help! Let’s all pull together to make this our most successful auction ever!
It isn’t too late to RSVP- we ask that you please do so by the 27th at the very latest.
We are still in need of the following items, should you wish to donate them:
- Do you have any gently used or new baskets you no longer need? NBA is looking for some to package up each individual program manager’s themed basket items. Please drop these off with Alex or your Program Manager no later than Tuesday the 27th of September. Thank you!
- Attend the Auction and invite your friends. It is a wonderful way to share the passion you have for NBA, and to get others involved in supporting the extraordinary work NBA staff delivers, and the significant impact, or ‘Glitz’, they are able to shine on the world of each learner served.
