THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!
We’re Getting Closer To Setting Sail
Dear Florida Elks Family,
We are officially just over two months away from the Southeast Florida Navigating Autism Gala “Setting Sail” on Saturday, October 17, and the excitement is building!
Behind the scenes, our committee is working full steam ahead. Entertainment is booked, plans are coming together, auction donations are arriving, and businesses and community partners are stepping aboard to support this incredible cause.
Now we need our Florida Elks family aboard!
If you haven’t already, now is the time to:
• Reserve your seats or gather your Lodge and fill a table. Make it a night out together while supporting one of our most important missions.
• Help us build an incredible auction. Restaurant gift cards, hotel stays, golf, fishing trips, sporting tickets, jewelry, artwork, experiences, themed baskets, you may be surprised by who in your community would love to donate if you simply ask.
• Connect us with a sponsor. Do you know a business owner or company that believes in helping children and families? An introduction could make a tremendous difference.
• Spread the word. Share the Gala with your Lodge members, friends, family, coworkers, and community.
Every ticket purchased, auction item donated, sponsorship secured, and introduction made moves us closer to our goal.
Most importantly, every dollar raised helps Florida Elks for Autism provide autism screening, comprehensive diagnostic testing, and therapy services to children and families throughout Florida.
Early diagnosis can change the course of a child’s life. Together, we can help make sure families don’t have to navigate that journey alone.
Visit www.ElksNavigatingAutism.com to purchase tickets, reserve a table, become a sponsor, donate, or learn more.
October 17 will be here before we know it. Let’s fill the room, fill the auction, and show what happens when Florida Elks come together for our kids.
We’re getting ready to Set Sail. We hope you’ll be aboard!
