I am writing on behalf of Alexander Leigh Center for Autism (ALCA) to request your support for our 17th gala entitled “Play it Forward,” a memorable night to raise money to benefit our students.  The gala will be held on March 11, 2023, at the Holiday Inn; Crystal Lake.  We are very excited to return to an all-in-person event for 2023.

ALCA is a registered 501(C)(3) not-for-profit, full-day, year-round Illinois State Board of Education-approved Therapeutic Day School.  We serve children 3-22 years of age with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), OHI, multiple disabilities, developmental delays, and/or intellectual disabilities.  We currently have 40 students from 23 school districts.  Two passionate mothers of children with an autism diagnosis founded ALCA.

I ask for your support by donating an item to be used at the gala auction or for another one of ALCA’s fundraisers.  Your support will allow ALCA to reach more children and families with quality educational programming helping to change lives and strengthen families.  All proceeds support the growth and learning of ALCA students with autism.
