🎀For 50 years, The Summit Center has supported individuals and families navigating the challenges of autism and other developmental disabilities. From our special education school, Summit Academy, to our behavioral health clinic to our supported employment program, Summit serves more than 1,000 individuals each year. Our mission is to help children and adults reach their full potential in all aspects of life.

📅On November 7, 2025, the Summit Gala will be taking place at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. This lovely evening will feature a sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, and a fantastic after party including dancing and late-night snacks.

🤲With the prevalence of autism now at one in 31 individuals, chances are that this is an important cause to you or someone close to you. Your support means some of Western New York’s most vulnerable children and adults are provided opportunities for learning and connection.

By purchasing a ticket, you grant The Summit Center permission to use photos or videos of you for promotional or lawful purposes. You also release The Summit Center, its affiliates, sponsors, staff, volunteers, vendors, and agents from any claims related to injury or damage in connection with the Summit Gala and its associated activities.

Thank you to our sponsors!
