THE AUTISTS 2011 was a great success with over 400 guests treating themselves to an exclusive evening of gourmet delicacies, fine wines, entertainment, and an exciting silent and live auction. The Gala was held at Toronto’s beautiful and critically acclaimed Koerner Hall on May 17, 2011. It was an exciting celebration of the arts, showcasing the passionate link between art, artists and autism.
On behalf of Geneva Centre’s 4,000 children, youth and family members learning to live with autism, we extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported THE AUTISTS. For the past two years, THE AUTISTS Gala has netted more than $250,000 for Geneva Centre’s Social Skills Building programs and Canada’s first specialized facility for youth with autism.
