We hope this year's event is bigger and better than last year, and look forward to seeing old and new friends come together for a great cause. Melissa and I started this non profit to help less fortunate families with a child with non-verbal autism. With donations Ace's Legacy is able to purchase iPads and the programs to help communicate. These specific programs cost $500-$700 a piece; throw the cost of an iPad in and you are looking at $2000. Ace's Legacy is proud to have helped 20 families over the last two years and this is all thanks to the kind people that sponsored and attended last year's Ball. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Ace is such a blessing to our family and everyone he comes in contact with. He is also our best mannered child even though Jocelyn and Asher will tell you different. His hugs are warm, and his laugh is contagious. I am so blessed to be called his Dad. In October of 2013 Melissa and I announced we were expecting. A few months later we found out it was going to be a boy! I swelled with pride and joy. Jagger Ace Rocha made his debut to the world on June 10, 2014. Melissa did great. I was a nervous wreck, and he finally came. I cried like a baby and bought everything in the hospital nursery that day. We buckled him in, and I drove the speed limit home for the first time ever. Time seemed to fly over the next couple years. Early on this journey I was in doubt, delusional. I paid it no mind and ignorance was bliss for the time. I just thought Ace was going to be a late bloomer. I had no idea what autism was and had never heard of the spectrum. Melisssa was more in tuned and felt something was going on. After seeing every doctor and specialists and the endless phone calls Melissa had with doctors all over the country, we received an autism diagnosis in February of 2018. At this time, I still did not understand what this meant and what the journey ahead of us looks like. Me refusing to accept or understand caused big issues in our marriage. All I can say is thank you lord for her patience and unconditional love. This journey is intense and scary. It's also beautiful and loving. There are moments where I still doubt things, but I know in my heart, as a family we'll continue to support each other and navigate the waters together. We are truly blessed to all have each other.

Please bear with me as I post things about the ball and our journey. As you can see, this foundation means a great deal to our family.

Ace’s Legacy is officially a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization!! Your donation can be tax deductible and you’ll be helping individuals with non-speaking autism receive AAC devices. Win-Win!

Ace’s Legacy was founded to bring communication to those in need. Our mission is to pair AAC devices with those affected by non-verbal/non-speaking autism.

Ace’s Legacy is named after our son, Ace. Ace was diagnosed with autism in 2018. We know firsthand the frustration that comes with one not being able to communicate effectively. We were introduced to Proloquo2go, a communication app, and our whole world changed. Ace can navigate his device effortlessly and communicate with everyone around him. This has been a true blessing for our family. Ace's Legacy purchase iPad and the app for the family in need. iPads can range from $700-$900 and the Proloquo2go app is $400-$500. We understand that not all families can afford this additional cost. This is why we started the Belts and Boots Ball to help raise money for families in need. With your donation we would like to help 30 families this year. Of course, we would love to see everyone's face at the Ball. But understand if you can't make it. We still have tables available along with individual tickets. We hope to see you for a night full of Laughter ,food, drinks and dancing.
