Description

Alexander Leigh Center for Autism (ALCA) is hosting our 18th Annual Gala, Feel the Magic, scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2024, at the Holiday Inn, Crystal Lake, IL.  It is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and we expect over 400 people to attend. 

We hope you will consider partnering with us by donating a gift basket or gift certificate to our event.  Donations received will be used for the silent or live auction or at other fundraising events organized by ALCA.  The proceeds from your generous gift will enable us to provide quality educational programming and support the growth and learning of all ALCA students with autism.

ALCA is a full-day, year-round, Illinois State Board of Education-approved Therapeutic Day School based in McHenry and a registered 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization.  We cater to children aged 3-22 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), OHI, multiple disabilities, developmental delays, and/or intellectual disabilities.  We currently serve 48 students from six different counties and 23 school districts.  Our school was founded in 2004 by two passionate mothers who have children with autism.

Please submit the attached form by February 19, 2024.  If you have any questions about the event, please do not hesitate to contact me at pwieczorek@alcacenter.org.

Thank you for supporting our school, students, teachers and staff.  Your contribution will be part of the Magic of ALCA and will help us reach more families and children with autism.
