We are so pleased to announce the 17th Annual Le Brunch des Chapeaux luncheon and Julian Gold style show is scheduled for Thursday, April 9, 2020 at the historic Argyle. As you know the “Hat Luncheon” is one of the most exclusive events each spring and benefits the critical work of the Autism Community Network (ACN) here in San Antonio. We anticipate more than 550 ladies will be in attendance showcasing the most fabulous hats of this season. The luncheon includes a extraordinary fashion show by Julian Gold, silent auction and raffle, and as always, awards for the most stunning and original “Chapeaux”. The money raised at this special event goes to support the vital work of early identification of autism through the efforts of ACN.
Autism Community Network (ACN), is a 501(c)(3) organization with a core mission to maximize every child’s potential through early autism diagnosis and by providing critical caregiver support strategies. Families with children on the spectrum frequently cannot gain access to supportive interventions until a diagnosis occurs. Currently families are waiting up to two years for a diagnostic appointment and we are determined to raise the money this year so ACN can substantially reduce that waiting period.
ACN is one of only two agencies in San Antonio providing interdisciplinary autism diagnostic services for children; and the only agency where the vast majority of the clients are Medicaid eligible. ACN works to serve all people affected by autism – children, families, providers and educators. Charitable contributions account for 80% of their annual budget. That’s where your attendance and support of the Le Brunch des Chapeaux comes in!
You can help get children diagnosed earlier at ACN in two ways. First we want you to consider committing to be a table sponsor at the luncheon. And second we ask you to make a 100% tax deductible donation to become an underwriter of Le Brunch des Chapeaux at a level that feels comfortable to you.
Please review the attached sponsorship and underwriting options detailed on this website. Tables are very limited this year because the luncheon has become so popular. Please take a moment now to reserve your table while they are still available. You may certainly make your selection and remit payment here. Or, you may call Patty Vela at 201-435-1000 x5002 or email her at pattyv@acn-sa.org.
Thank you so much for your participation and support of Autism Community Network. We can’t wait to share the event with you and see all the stylish hats the ladies will be wearing at The Argyle this year!
With much gratitude,
Gloria Steves Dilley & Kristin Tips
