Unmasking Autism

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

What an AMAZING Evening!
The 2022 Unmasking Autism Gala presented by Florida Elks Charities was an even bigger success than we could've ever imagined.

We would like to give a genuine, heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful guests that attended, our amazing sponsors, the incredible support team and committee members, our generous Florida Elks Lodges around the state and most importantly... YOU!

Without you countless Florida kids and their families would not receive the therapy they desperately need at no-cost to them.

Please watch the video interview of our guest speaker Blaise Runge and Brian Burns taken earlier.

2022 Unmasking Autism Gala Guest Speaker

Blaise Runge

Our Florida Elks Lodges are AWESOME!

The 2022 Unmasking Autism Gala presented by Florida Elks Charities was a success in large part to the efforts of countless members and donors around our great state.

The "Star Campaign" was originated in 2020 for our lodges to participate in raising funds and awareness by asking their own members and guests to purchase a star. Each star represented a child within the ASD spectrum.

For over 2 years our wonderful lodges sold more stars than you can shake a stick and kept asking for more! Soon it became a friendly competition amongst the lodges to see who can sell the most.

It is our honor to give each and everyone that participated a sincere THANK YOU!

Your commitment to make the lives of Florida children and their families shine a little brighter is what the Elks are all about.

Elks Care. Elks Share.
