Fundraising Luncheon

Fundraising Luncheon

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 | RIVER OAKS COUNTRY CLUB

We are thankful to all those who made the 2023 Westview Fundraising Luncheon a success. While our annual event goal is to raise funds for our school, the luncheon also serves as a beautiful way to share with friends and families of Westview all the good work Westview is doing to change futures for children with autism. We are so thankful to Neha Patel, former Westview parent, and Jackie Neely, current Westview grandmother, for sharing their stories of how Westview has impacted the lives of their children.

"Westview embraced Kishan exactly where he was. Not only that, but they saw the future of where he could be. Each teacher, each administrator, and each staff member celebrated every single one of Kishan's milestones. And there were so many in the five years he attended Westview. As a family, we were no longer grieving the child we thought we didn't have; we were rejoicing and thanking God for helping us to find our people." Neha Patel, Parent Speaker

"The Westview School has provided Ryan with the necessary services required to aid him in developing his social and behavioral skills and has helped him succeed both in and out of school. Each child is uniquely different, and the staff here at Westview have been exceptional in meeting the needs of each student." Jackie Neely, Grandparent Speaker.

This year's program was centered around our 2022-2023 school year theme - Together We Grow. Representatives of our Westview Middle School class shared with our guests how they have grown during their time at Westview and how they have helped others to grow, and concluded the event with a musical performance led by Nelson Armstrong. Special thanks to the Burch and Christopherson families for generously underwriting this event.
