Sponsorship Opportunities

Dear Friends,

We are thrilled to announce the 16th Annual Ray of Hope Gala “Carnaval,” hosted by Friends of South Florida Autism, taking place on November 9th at the beautiful Goldstream venue. As we gather for an evening filled with celebration, we look forward to a night that promises to be unforgettable. The “Carnaval” will commence with a captivating student performance during our cocktail hour, setting the stage for a festive night ahead. Dinner will be served amidst the soothing melodies of live music, followed by an opportunity to dance the night away. A highlight of the evening will be our silent auction and raffle, showcasing a collection of one-of-a-kind items generously donated by our community. Each bid makes a significant impact, supporting the vital programs at South Florida Autism Charter School, South Florida Autism Center, and the villages of South Florida Autism.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each of you for joining us tonight and for your unwavering support over the years. It is your continued commitment that empowers our mission and makes events like tonight possible. We could not be here without you. Enjoy the festivities, the camaraderie, and the celebration of our collective efforts to make a difference. Here’s to a successful gala and to continuing our journey together in support of a cause that touches so many lives. With deepest gratitude,

Tamara Moodie
