A heartfelt thank you to Catalight for sponsoring our very first C.A.R.E. Summit!

Launching an event like this for the first time takes a community of people and organizations who believe in the vision behind it. Your support helped us bring families, caregivers, professionals, and community partners together for a day centered on connection, education, advocacy, and meaningful resources.

We are incredibly grateful that Catalight believed in what we were working to create and chose to be part of this first C.A.R.E. Summit. Your partnership helped us make this day possible.

From all of us at the UA Regional Autism Network, thank you for investing in our families, our community, and our mission. 💙

We truly could not have asked for a better partner for our first C.A.R.E. Summit.
