Join us for a magical garden party at Patuxent Commons, a new affordable and inclusive housing community brought to life by the Autism Society of Maryland and Mission First Housing Group.

Guests will enjoy cocktails and bites indoors before stepping outside under glowing tent lights for music, dancing, lawn games, and roaming entertainers. With an estimated 300 attendees, this celebration of community, connection, and inclusion offers meaningful impact—a portion of every sponsorship provides event tickets for Patuxent Commons residents.

Individual tickets will go on sale soon – please check back for more information.
