In honor of Autism Awareness Month, Giant Steps, a Lisle school that works exclusively with children and young adults on the spectrum, is hosting a charity fundraising gala. The annual charity auction serves as a pillar fundraising event for Giant Steps, generating much-needed proceeds which directly support the school’s mission of providing exceptional therapeutic services for individuals with autism and their families.
This year’s theme is “Giant Steps Derby: Race to the Future.” The Kentucky Derby-themed auction will be held Friday, April 21st at Bobak’s Signature Room in Woodridge, IL. To go along with the Kentucky Derby theme, one of the headlining auction items this year will be a Kentucky Derby experience, including tickets on ‘millionaire’s row’ and premium hotel accommodations. Tickets will be available for purchase through our website, www.mygiantsteps.org/auction2017.
