We are incredibly proud to announce H. Micheal and Sheena Thomas as the 2026 Presenting Sponsor of Under the Palms!

H. Micheal Thomas has served families as a financial planner for over 40 years. He and his wife, Sheena, have three sons and a daughter, Minnah Maria — a young lady with Down Syndrome who has profoundly shaped their lives. He has earned multiple advanced degrees, including graduate studies from Liberty University and The American College of Financial Services, along with the Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC) designation. In addition to working with individuals and families with financial planning, he helps families navigate the financial realities of special needs planning, long-term care, and preserving dignity across generations.

Mr. Thomas is a long-time friend and partner of our organization, which makes this sponsorship even more special. His generosity goes beyond his financial gifts. He willingly and enthusiastically shares his time, knowledge and resources for our families in need. We are humbled by his belief in our mission, and blessed by his stewardship.

WHY HE SUPPORTS THE PALMETTO PARTNERSHIP OF ALL 4 AUTISM:

"As a father of a child with Down Syndrome, this isn’t theory — it’s life. Everyday. Supporting The Palmetto Partnership is about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with families who are in the fight —navigating therapies, education, independence and dignity for their children. Professionally, my designation as a Chartered Special Needs Consultant (ChSNC) means I don’t just understand the emotional side, I understand the financial battlefield families face: lifetime care, government benefits, special needs trusts and making sure no child is left vulnerable when parents are gone. The Palmetto Partnership is doing real work — boots on the ground —building community, creating opportunity, and giving families hope where the system often falls short."

When people ask what we do, it is difficult to explain in a few sentences. The purpose of our annual event, UNDER THE PALMS, is to give us the opportunity to share our mission through the stories of the families we serve. Please take a moment and watch the video from our 2025 Featured Partner Family, The Brantons. THIS is what we do, and why we do it.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

With a staff of only one, our volunteers are crucial to our organization. These precious people have been right by our side, no matter what is needed. This year, especially, has been incredibly busy with the building refurbishments, new annual event and developing programs for our new initiative. They know how hard it is for me to ask, so they show up and tackle whatever needs to be handled. Time is a gift, and I am humbled by how gracious our volunteers and Board Members have been to share their time and talents with us. THANK YOU!
