Under the Winter Stars: A Night of Connection

As the year comes to a close, join the Connection Crew for an unforgettable evening of elegance, friendship, and celebration at Under the Winter Stars: A Night of Connection.

Inspired by the beauty of a starlit winter sky, this special event celebrates the idea that every person deserves a place to shine. Just as each star is unique, every member of our community brings their own light, and together we create something truly extraordinary.

Designed for autistic and neurodivergent individuals ages 16 and up, this magical winter formal offers a welcoming, sensory-conscious environment where participants can relax, be themselves, and build meaningful connections in a safe and inclusive space.

Throughout the evening, participants will enjoy:

✨ Dancing and music in a fun, inclusive atmosphere

🤝 Opportunities to meet new friends and strengthen existing connections

📸 A beautiful winter-themed backdrop for memorable photos

🍽️ Delicious food and refreshments

🎉 Interactive activities and moments of celebration

💙 A safe, welcoming space where everyone belongs

Whether you're attending your very first formal event or returning to celebrate with familiar faces, Under the Winter Stars is about more than dressing up—it's about community, confidence, inclusion, and creating memories that last long after the evening ends.

Our Theme

"Together, We Shine Brighter."

Every star shines on its own, but together they light up the night sky. In the same way, our community becomes stronger, brighter, and more connected when everyone is welcomed, valued, and celebrated.
