VIA’s fundraising efforts support the services we provide to children and families. We hold multiple major events during the year which provide a way for our larger community to engage with and support our services.
Events
Our annual event schedule has been disrupted this year due to COVID. THANK YOU to everyone who has met the uncertainties with us, and continued to support VIA during this time. You can find out more about the current status of our 2021 event planning below.
VIA Gala
In 2020, VIA's annual Gala was transformed into our Raise a Glass virtual viewing party.
We raised over $215,000 to support compassionate, effective autism services in our region.
You can watch all of the Raise a Glass event videos, including our heartwarming 2020 Gala video, on our VIA YouTube channel.
THANK YOU to everyone who participated. Special Thanks to our VIP Sponsors and our generous Supporters.
