Join us for the 18th annual Gourmet Lunchbox Lunch, where we’ll explore the theme “From Pictures to Possibilities.” This year’s event celebrates the power of envisioning a brighter future for the autism community—and the role ABC of NC plays in turning those visions into reality.
Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch and dessert provided by a local restaurant, hear moving stories from families whose lives have been transformed by ABC of NC’s services, and be inspired by our keynote speaker, Dr. Temple Grandin—renowned scientist, author, and autism advocate. As one of the first individuals to publicly share insights into autism from a personal perspective, Dr. Grandin has helped reshape global understanding of neurodiversity through her lived experience and groundbreaking contributions.
At ABC of NC, we’re committed to turning possibilities into progress for the individuals and families we serve. Join us for an afternoon of connection, inspiration, and community—and help make the picture of a more inclusive world a reality.
The Gourmet Lunchbox Lunch is both a fundraising and “friend”-raising event. It is free to attend to ensure accessibility for all, and we hope our guests will be inspired to support ABC of NC through philanthropy, volunteerism, or by sharing our mission with others. This special event is made possible thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors and restaurant partners.
