“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. Former Grant a
Gift program client Luke Kecman along with Megan Rose Crandy were both
awarded the Self-Advocate Community Achievement Award, for making
significant accomplishments
within the community.www.GrantAGiftAutismFoundation.org
