Autism Shines
Autism Society Caps Successful Year With Gala More than 300 guests made their way to the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Mountain Brook on Aug. 26 to celebrate the Autism Society of Alabama’s 20th annual Autism Shines Gala. Leading up to the annual event, parents, advocates and supporters dedicated hours of their time during the legislative session to lobby for requiring autism coverage in insurance plans. “Over 7+ years we have worked to get insurance coverage in Alabama and until now those efforts were unsuccessful. We’re enthusiastic that families can join us in celebrating the passage of HB284, especially for the 20th anniversary of our Gala.” said program director Bama Hager. The organization recognized a deserving supporter with its newest distinction, the “Mike Tumlin Award,” named for an autism dad who was a huge advocate within the community throughout his life. The award was given to Lisa Whitson Riley, presented by Tumlin’s son. Coordinating the event was a gala committee, headed up by chair Peggy Stevens along with, Christy Boyles, Ayesha Bryant, Ben Carlisle, Rod Harbin, Fran Heisner, Jenny Morris, Travis Grantham, Matt Moore and Ashlie Walker. A variety of items were up for auction, donated by local retailers and businesses, with festivities led by the event emcees, JOX Roundtable personalities, Jim Dunaway and Ryan Brown. Big ticket items included a Caribbean beach getaway, a Jones Is Thirsty wine dinner and a shopping spree at Bloomingdales in Chicago. The evening’s proceeds support the organization’s mission to improve services for people with autism spectrum disorders and their families, and promote education and advocacy. ❖
