Little Friends 48th Annual Benefit Auction was an inspiring gathering of over 675 individuals united in their dedication to our mission. We are deeply grateful to our supporters, whose generosity made it possible for Little Friends to raise much-needed funds during this spectacular night!
The Dottee Krejci Memorial Award for Distinguished Service honors individuals or groups showing exceptional commitment to Little Friends through service and leadership. This year, we were honored to recognize restaurateur and business owner Michael Vai with the Dottee Krejci Award. The audience was delighted by a surprise video message from his brother, legendary guitarist Steve Vai, highlighting Michael’s commitment to our community.
As Little Friends celebrates our 60th anniversary, we remain devoted to the vision that Dottee established in 1965, aiming to address the needs of children, adults, and families affected by autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities. These needs continue to resonate today, driving Little Friends to expand our innovative services designed to tackle the most pressing challenges faced by those we support.
On behalf of the individuals uplifted by Little Friends, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for their generous contributions. Your support empowers us to uphold our core values and inspires us to do even more for those we serve.
