third annual

Match Point Gala

The mission of the annual Match Point Gala is to celebrate and honor those nominated as “Legacy Ambassadors.” These are community partners and individuals who have made significant contributions through participation, awareness campaigns, and fundraising.

Their efforts and the funds raised catalyze the development and expansion of Love Serving Autism’s therapeutic programs. These programs create an inclusive and accepting community for neurodiverse individuals, on and off the courts.

Join us in raising funds as we honor and celebrate our Legacy Ambassadors

The Match Point Gala is an annual fundraising and awareness campaign hosted by Love Serving Autism. Each year, the staff and Board of Directors nominate “Legacy” candidates, philanthropic leaders in the community, who truly represent the LSA mission with a passion and dedication to help build the community and raise awareness and needed funds for Love Serving Autism.

All funds raised will help ensure current South Florida Love Serving Autism programs serving individuals throughout Florida are sustained, with a focus on continued programmatic and therapeutic growth. Love Serving Autism’s goals are to support individuals on the Autism Spectrum to develop life skills and independence on and off the courts.

Funding from the Match Point Gala will also support our goal to establish an “INTERACT Facility” in 2025 to serve as a training and program facility providing inclusive indoor therapeutic tennis and multi-sport facility for typical and neuro-diverse children and adults.
