8th Annual ICON & Geneva Centre for Autism Charity Gala

The 8th Annual ICON & Geneva Centre for Autism Charity  Gala is  an inspiring evening dedicated to leadership, resilience, and the personal journeys that shape remarkable professionals.

This year’s theme, “Beyond the Visible: Leadership, Love, and Strength Across the Spectrum” reflects something many of us experience every day. Behind the titles, deadlines, and expectations at work, there are families, personal journeys, and quiet moments of strength that shape who we are and how we lead.

Throughout the evening, you will hear from individuals whose experiences with neurodiversity and autism, often within their own families, have influenced their perspective, resilience, and approach to leadership. These are honest, real-life stories shared with the hope of building greater understanding, empathy, and connection.

Join us for a cocktail reception followed by a gourmet dinner, accompanied by carefully curated entertainment, and opportunities to network with forward-thinking leaders, partners, and friends. This is an evening of conversation, reflection, and community, as we raise funds in support of the Geneva Centre for Autism and help extend that support to even more families who can benefit from it.
 

Proceeds from our silent auction will also support For Little Monkeys Charity! Founded in 2021, they design and donate sensory rooms, sensory kits and embark on community projects to support the broader neurodiverse community.
