On Thursday, April 17, more than 1,500 community members gathered in the Frank Lloyd Wright Ballroom at the Arizona Biltmore Resort to celebrate SARRC’s 27th Annual Community Breakfast. This year’s theme, Power of Possibilities, showcased the limitless potential of individuals with autism and the transformative impact of a supportive community.
As SARRC’s largest annual fundraiser, the event featured a range of perspectives on the latest advancements, ongoing challenges, and inspiring successes in the autism community, while celebrating the possibilities that lie ahead.
Guests were moved by powerful stories, including that of a family whose persistence and intuition guided them on a pivotal journey with their daughter, which included receiving critical support from SARRC’s Community School. SARRC’s Chief Science Officer shared exciting developments in how artificial intelligence is improving the diagnostic process. An autistic adult also took the stage to share their inspiring path to independence, among many other highlights.
Funds raised during the Annual Community Breakfast support SARRC’s mission to advance research and provide a lifetime of support for individuals with autism and their families.
