AUSOM 25th Anniversary Gala - Autism Society of Maryland

Over 300 guests gathered on April 28, 2018 at Turf Valley Resort to mark the Autism Society of Maryland’s 25th Anniversary! It was a milestone celebration that recognized the organization’s founding families and many accomplishments since 1993. The event raised $100,000 to support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), their families and community with educational events and meetings, social events, support groups, information and referrals, special education resources, free 1:1 IEP assistance, and legal consultation. HCAS’ work also includes future projects such as the AUSOM Housing Initiative that will maximize the ability for individuals with ASD to live and work as independently as possible. AUSOM is grateful to all of the sponsors, donors, attendees, and volunteers who supported this event! Photos will be posted to our Facebook.
