The Autists 2012 to be Held May 24 at Toronto’s Corus Centre
January 26th, 2012 | Published in News, Info
The Autists 2012 is a go
We have a new location, a confirmed date and a spanking new sponsorship package.
The party, while still under construction, is to be something of a departure from last year’s bash.
We’ve out-grown Koerner Hall, and while we’ll miss that fantastic venue, our new one, the new Corus Centre at Sugar Beach on Lakeshore, is equally spectacular. It’s ultra-sleek and spacious enough to handle what we have in the pipeline for our party on Thursday May 24, 2012.
This year’s theme is Casino Carnivale, among others
We are still working through many details, but expect plenty of wicked gambling options, great food, creative drinking opportunities and a variety of sensuous side shows (more on that when I know) and entertaining distractions.
Art meets autism once again
Of course we’ll be holding both an art auction and silent auction, featuring mindblowing works from those with autism as well as celebrated artists, as yet to be confirmed. Stand by for more on the auctions in the coming weeks.
What’s The Autists, anyway?
It’s the annual fundraiser soiree, now in its third year, for Toronto’s Geneva Centre for Autism, which provides much needed services to kids and families touched by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The was started in 2010 by freelance ad copywriter Paul Fenn (yours truly) and Geneva Centre for Autism. Proceeds go to programs geared to helping kids and adults learn skills and approaches to successful community living, career development and living skills.
