Autism Cares Foundation Celebrates Successful Casino Royale CARES Gala

Over $125,000 raised to help individuals and families with autism and other social and cognitive disabilities in our area.

Southampton, PA- Autism Cares Foundation (ACF) proudly announces the tremendous success of its Casino Royale CARES Gala, held on April 26t at the Spring Mill Country Club in Ivyland, PA. The event brought together ACF families, supporters, volunteers, and community members for a night of celebration and fundraising. Over $125,00 was raised to support ACF’s mission of providing life-enriching experiences and resources to individuals and families living with autism and other social and cognitive disabilities, in a safe and respectful environment.

Guests at the gala enjoyed stunning Casino Royale themed décor, silent and live auctions, and a selection of casino games, along with fine dining, drinks and dancing late into the night. The vibrant atmosphere brought together old and new friends in a spirit of giving and support.

“Our annual gala has been an important tool to raise funds and awareness to support local children and adults with autism and other intellectual disabilities,” said Kim Smith, Autism Cares Foundation’s Chief Operating Officer. “With our new employment support program, Pathways to Employment, launching this year, the money raised by this event will help us to kickstart this endeavor in ways such as purchasing a new transportation van that will allow us to bring more of our participants into more of the surrounding community.”
