Southern Pieces Gala

Participating for a cause that means so much more than just a fancy dress or shiny shoes, hundreds are expected to enjoy an elegant evening at the 9th Annual Southern Pieces Gala on March 19, 2022 at City Winery Ponce City Market. The gala will benefit Autism Speaks, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.

Emceed by Michael Seiden, WSB-TV Reporter, guests of the Southern Pieces Gala can anticipate an evening filled with great entertainment, food, and cocktails. To date, corporate sponsors have heeded the call to support the event, including The Home Depot, Bennett Thrasher, Chart Industries, ACIA Orthopedics and Shoals Technologies Group.

Presale tickets for the cocktail attire event are available online at autismspeaks.org/southernpieces, with proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks. VIP guests and sponsors will enjoy a private pre-event bourbon tasting reception.

About Autism
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, and each person with autism can have unique strengths and challenges. A combination of genetic and environmental factors influences the development of autism, and autism often is accompanied by medical issues such as GI disorders, seizures and sleep disturbances. Autism affects an estimated 1 in 44 children.
