2018 Annual Benefit: The Spectrum of Possibility
The Milestones team is filled with gratitude as we reflect on the incredible community support that makes our work possible. We truly appreciate our sponsors, tribute committee, host committee, donors, the more than 250 guests who attended, and most of all, our honorees who have been instrumental in bringing Milestones into its 17th year.
Guests enjoyed a music-filled cocktail hour with performance by Aaron Greene, live auction excitement, and inspirational remarks from Debra Greene, board member and mother of Aaron, Matthew, Nick Greene.
Honorees Phil Irvin, Marvin Lader, and Steve Wexberg, MD, were lauded for their leadership and commitment to the local autism community.
Carol and Marvin Lader were also recognized with the inaugural Milestones Lifetime Achievement Award for their dedication to the mission of Milestones since its founding in 2003.
With the generous contributions from this weekend, Milestones is able to continue to provide a free Helpdesk that connects families, individuals with ASD and professionals with the trusted resources they need.
