The Autism Empowerment Gala is just over a month away! And it's shaping up to be a huge success as we celebrate our 60th anniversary. Thank you to our Platinum and Leadership Sponsors. Our Platinum sponsor, Ralph Fine, has supported the League School since its founding by connecting Leona and Arnold Vetstein with the League School of Brooklyn. As Ralph says, "It's the single most important phone call of my life."
Our Leadership Sponsors have supported us through the years, and we are thrilled with the continued support! Thank you!

From the new reptile show and water play to the amazing presence of the Walpole Police and Fire Departments, the day was a wonderful reminder of what happens when our community comes together.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special. We are especially grateful to our Summer Fun Day Committee and Repairs Team, who began planning and preparing months in advance and worked tirelessly behind the scenes and throughout the day to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Thank you to all of the families, alumni, volunteers, and community partners who joined us and brought so much energy and joy to the event.
We’re already looking forward to the next one! 🎉
