This beautiful lady, inside and out, is my dear friend Anni Tannehill, together with her wonderful family. ❤️
I always speak about Anni’s huge heart, her compassion, and the unconditional love she has shown to our autism community throughout the years. Even though Anni does not have a child on the spectrum, for nearly 15 years she has been one of the very first people to stand beside us every single time we organize an event.
Whenever I announce our annual gala, Anni is always among the first to respond with the words: “Count on my support and sponsorship.” And her generosity goes far beyond the gala. No matter what initiative we create for our children and families, Anni is always willing to help with love and enthusiasm.
Just one month ago, when I announced our very first Art Exposition, the very next day Anni sent a box full of canvases for the children who will be participating. Last week, after I shared the invitation for our 2027 Gala, she immediately replied once again, “Count me in with my sponsorship.” Then yesterday, Anni texted me to share even more wonderful news: she had brought in another sponsor, Flanigan’s Restaurant, which generously donated 30 gift cards for our 2027 annual fundraiser campaign beginning in September 2026.
What can I say except thank you, my dear friend. I love you very much, and I pray that God continues to bless you and your beautiful family with abundance, health, happiness, and endless love. Your kindness and dedication mean more than words can ever express. 🙏❤️
