The Dinner of Hope 2022 is now part of our organization’s history. We would like to thank all of our sponsors: Diamond – Pentucket Bank, and Silver – Enterprise Bank, and Katalin Baltimore and everyone who bought tickets or donated. We would also like to thank both State Senator Diana DiZoglio, who took time out of her campaign committments for State Auditor and State Representative Andy Vargas, who took time out from “daddy duty” and surprised us by dropping by with his beautiful son.

Additionally, we thank those who donated to our silent auction: the Boston Red Sox, Governor Councilor Eileen Duff, James Wong, the Rajczyk Family, and Eva Rajczyk. We also thank this year’s Keynote Speaker, MVCC President & CEO Joe Bevilacqua, our intrepid MC, Tim Coco, Maria’s Family Restaurant for donating the venue, Stephanie Beach for her wonderful comical magic show, and our DJ extra-ordinaire, DJ Decibel (aka Rick Miles), who knew just when to play soft music and when to crank it up.

About The Event

This year we celebrated EMPLOYERS and our organization’s Tenth Anniversary!

Each year our dinner recognizes the wonderful people who keep our organization viable, those who make major contributions to our local community, and our clients who persevere despite the odds against them. This year our focus is on the companies that are willing to hire Aspies because they understand the value that Aspergian adults bring to a job.

Dinner of Hope

We call our yearly fundraiser DINNER OF HOPE because we offer hope to those who, through no fault of their own, have been struggling with employment issues and life in general.

This year we focused on employers, without whom Aspies have no chance of becoming independent contributing members of society.

The intention of our event was (as it has been from the onset) to raise awareness about the need for employment of adults with Asperger’s Syndrome and to raise funds to enable us to help as many people as possible. The Dinner of Hope is also a time to celebrate our successes of the past years and to look forward to more success in the future.
