Please join us for Anderson Foundation for Autism’s Annual Gala—an inspiring celebration of community, compassion, and purpose. This year, we invite you to a refined Evening in Paris, where elegance meets impact in support of our mission.
We are honored to celebrate Vanessa and Patrick Ryan, for their unwavering commitment, advocacy, and generous support of Anderson’s mission to optimize the quality of life for individuals with autism.
We’ll also recognize two outstanding team members with the 2026 Above and Beyond Awards, celebrating their exceptional dedication and impact within the Anderson community.
