Applause! Gala: Building our Legacy
The Applause! Gala celebrates heroes in our community who dedicate their time and resources to arts, women's and children's causes. Their stories are told at the event through a live musical theatre production written by Producing Artistic Director, Michael Barnard. Funds directly benefit thousands of families who attend our Inclusive Summer Theatre Camp, many of whom receive full or partial scholarships. 13% of the children who attend are on the autism spectrum, or need special accommodation for cognitive, physical, or behavioral challenges. Their needs are met through annual training of our teachers and counselors at Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center. Our Partners That Heal professionals visit hundreds of bedsides each year, providing hope and healing to children and families in hospitals and crisis centers.
With your sponsorship and attendance of this event, you are helping us bring honor, celebration, and joy to our community!
