Face Autism

This one-of-a-kind fundraiser pairs our amazing Dynasty Stars special needs dancers with caring adult “Buddy Partners” for an afternoon of connection and celebration through ballroom dance.

By joining us as a Buddy Partner with a $150 contribution, you are doing far more than attending an event:

• You’re directly funding inclusive dance programs that empower children and teens with special needs.
• You’re helping provide mentorship, confidence, and joyful opportunities for youth who are too often overlooked.
• You’re taking part in an intergenerational movement that research shows strengthens entire communities.
• And—you’ll get the fun benefit of learning two easy ballroom dances alongside your Star!

Why Intergenerational Events Matter

Research consistently demonstrates that when young people and older adults come together, everyone thrives.

• For youth: increased confidence, stronger social and communication skills, and exposure to positive role models.
• For adults: greater purpose, a fresh perspective, and the opportunity to learn from the resilience and authenticity of youth.
• For communities: intergenerational events combat stereotypes, break down barriers, and create spaces where empathy and understanding grow.

This is not just a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity to build a more connected, compassionate community through the universal language of dance.
