a reason to party

The Wacky Tacky Ball is more than just a night of outrageous fun—it’s a fundraiser supporting the construction of our mission: creating a residential and respite community for adults with autism. Because autism doesn’t end at 18, this event helps build a future where independence, support, and belonging thrive.
