Art Across the Spectrum:
Your Support Means the World
Our Art Across the Spectrum art auction was a huge success, thanks to you! ASGC would like to thank all our event sponsors, artists and talent, donors, event attendees, and our entire autism community, both near and far, for supporting our organization and for supporting autism awareness. We raised over $55,000 during this fundraiser, and we cannot thank you enough for everything our community has done to make sure our helplines, support groups, social groups, educational series, and offices run every single day. Most importantly, your work has contributed to improving the lives of all affected by autism, and we truly appreciate your generosity.
