And for the students at PALS and members at PASS, the impact of that night will continue long after the last song played, with funds raised supporting life-changing programs and opportunities.

For more than 12 years, Angela Bi of Visas Consulting Group and Arte House has been a passionate and generous supporter of PALS and PASS. Through extraordinary live auction packages, enthusiastic bidding, and ongoing support of community fundraisers, Angela has helped create meaningful opportunities for autistic individuals and their families. 

This year alone, Angela donated three of her signature New York packages to the Imagine… Gala, helping raise an incredible $60,000!

We were proud to recognize Visas Consulting Group and Arte House as this year’s Imagine… Gala Honouree in celebration of Angela’s unwavering generosity, vision, and commitment to our community.

The Gala Honouree artwork was created by talented PASS member and artist Casey Maltman as a digital illustration drawn freehand on her iPad. The piece reflects Angela’s years of support through meaningful symbols, including the Plaza Hotel in New York, Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower, Amsterdam’s canals, Vancouver’s North Shore mountains, and the iconic Imagine… Gala balloons. Angela is depicted standing alongside PASS members Casey and Douglas - a beautiful tribute to the connection and community she has helped foster over the years.
