Grant A Gift for Autism Celebrated it's 7th Annual “Fashion for Autism” Fundraiser with a Stylish Soiree on November 5 at Aria Resort & Casino.

Featuring fashion by DVF (Diane von Furstenberg), the annual fashion event celebrated community members leading the fight against autism.
“Bringing a Solution Into Focus” is based on Grant a Gift Autism Foundation’s new partnership with the UNLV School of Medicine, creating a state-of-the-art facility, aimed at finding the new standard for autism diagnosis, research, programming and education in Nevada and the West Coast. Both organizations have joined forces to open the UNLV Medicine Ackerman Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment Solutions. The new center combines cutting-edge diagnostics, treatment, behavioral/vocational training, support programs, and education for infants to young adults.
Attendees of Fashion for Autism sipped on champagne while bidding on lavish and luxurious items at an exclusive silent auction beginning at 6 p.m. Following the reception, Kim and Dana Wagner from KSNV News 3, hosted the live fashion show sponsored by DVF. Guests also enjoyed an incredible live auction followed by the awards ceremony honoring two outstanding community leaders who have worked tirelessly to ensure that families dealing with autism receive the help and support needed.
Gaudin Motor Company’s Gary Ackerman was honored with the Ambassador for Autism Award and Len Jessup, President of UNLV, received the Autism Advocate Award.
