JOIN US FOR A FUN-FILLED EVENING TO SUPPORT THE ARC OF MASSACHUSETTS!
The Arc of Massachusetts, the Commonwealth’s leading disability advocacy organization, is honoring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author Ron Suskind at its 2016 Gala. Ron has written several important works of nonfiction, including Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes and Autism, which chronicles his family’s twenty-year struggle with their son Owen’s autism. The book is the foundation of Life, Animated, a film which Ron produced.
Ron, Owen, and the entire Suskind family have made significant contributions to the understanding of autism through their creative use of Disney films to communicate with Owen. Owen found a pathway to communication through his passion for Disney animation.
ABOUT THE EVENT
To kick off our evening of activities, you are invited to a screening of Life, Animated with Ron Suskind, who will answer your questions. Then join us in the Grand Ballroom for the cocktail reception and silent auction. Afterward, enjoy dinner and the presentation honoring Ron.
