Connect for a Cause: West Coast Fundraiser
Thursday, September 10, 2026
6:00 – 9:00 PM PST
OAR Board Members Cathy Schwallie Famer, Ronda Peklar, and Chris DeMay are hosting an exclusive cocktail fundraiser benefiting the Organization for Autism Research.
Enjoy an evening of cocktails, conversation, and community as we come together to support autism research and programs that make a meaningful impact for autistic individuals and their families. Guests will have the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters, meet Schwallie Family Scholarship recipients, and hear directly from OAR Board Members and executive leadership about the organization’s mission and growing impact.
The evening will also feature a drinks, light fare, and opportunities to learn more about how OAR is advancing innovative research, resources, and advocacy within the autism community.
We hope you will join us for this special evening of connection, celebration, and support for OAR’s mission.
