We’re Celebrating.

It’s been 20 years since we first opened our doors and we’ve connected with over 3500 families in Central Massachusetts who live with the challenges and gifts that autism brings.

~ 20 years of connection ~ 20 years of community building ~ 20 years of advocacy ~ 20 years of education ~ ~20 years of support ~ 20 years of growth ~ 20 years of progress ~ 20 years of shared laughter and tears ~

We’d like you all to be part of the celebration. We are nothing without you !

Join us on October 20, 2017 for an evening of memories, hopes and dreams. We’ll be recognizing the STARS of our community at a red carpet event at Cyprian Keyes. In addition to the awards there will be dinner, dancing and auction items.

We’re seeking 20 years of memories. Help us by sharing with us YOUR favorite Center Moment. Was it the relief you felt when you called and someone understood your fears? Was it when you met a new friend at a Center Event? Perhaps it was when your child made a friend, or went to camp, or learned a new skill . Please send memories and pictures you’d be willing to share to Sloring@hmea.org

Join us in October by purchasing Tickets at http://www.autismresourcecentral.org/event-registration/ Tickets are $75 /pp.

OR Join the 20 for 20 Challenge! Attend for free!

We know that for many of our families $150 is serious money what with all the expenses having a child on the spectrum entails . BUT we really want you to be part of the evening! This Challenge is your ticket !

Ask 20 friends to donate $20 to the Center – once you reach 20 donations, you’ll be registered for 2 tickets to attend the Gala! Register as a Team at the first giving site, clicking I registered offline and need to create a fundraising page, then create a page, and send out to 20 people who know how badly you need a fun night out!

Can’t make it but want to support it? Donate $20 to the Center & help us raise the funds to help you and families like yours!
