About the Event (Online)

The Autism Ally Foundation exists to stand with families and individuals affected by autism — at every stage and every step.

Instead of a traditional in-person gala, this year’s fundraiser happens 100% online. That means:

    • No dress code, no travel, no room limits

    • You can participate from home, work, or on the go

    • All bidding, buying, and donating takes place through our secure GalaBid platform


Every purchase, bid, and donation goes directly toward building programs, providing resources, and creating more inclusive spaces for our community.
