We are so proud of you Joey!!

We're excited to share that local teen Joey Lively will receive the Community Impact Award at this year's Thriving Together Gala!

What started as a lemonade stand at age 10 has grown into an inspiring community tradition supporting Advocates Autism Alliance of MetroWest. This year alone, Joey raised an incredible $5,000, but his impact goes far beyond fundraising. Through his generosity, leadership, and commitment to inclusion, Joey builds greater understanding and acceptance of autism while creating opportunities for others to thrive.

Join us in celebrating Joey's incredible impact at this year's Thriving Together Gala!
