Annual First Words of Hope Luncheon

The 14th Annual First Words of Hope Luncheon is Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at Blue Ridge Community College.

The First Words of Hope Luncheon serves as the largest source of unrestricted funds for St. Gerard House. Its title, First Words of Hope, represents many things. It refers to our firm commitment to lift each individual we serve to his or her highest potential, and in doing so, to offer parents and loved ones a renewed perspective on life with Autism. It also pays homage to one of the greatest blessings we receive through our work: the opportunity to witness a child communicate successfully for the first time.

At the 2024 event you will hear Frankie’s story & learn why early intervention is so important to children on the spectrum.
