Legacy Ambassador Brandon Shadeed

Joining the board of Love Serving Autism is more than just a role, it’s a calling rooted in my heart. My younger brother is on the autism spectrum, and growing up with him shaped my world in the most profound ways. I’ve seen his joy, his struggles, and his incredible strength, and I’ve learned how powerful love, patience, and the right support can be.

What drew me to Love Serving Autism was its unique mission of using tennis to build communication, confidence, and community. My brother always lit up when he was moving and engaged, and I know how vital those kinds of outlets are for children and adults with autism. Being part of this organization allows me to honor his journey by helping others like him experience growth and connection through movement, mentorship, and inclusion.

I serve on this board to give back, to advocate, and to help create a world where individuals with autism are not only accepted, but celebrated.

A time to honor our ambassadors and raise funds and awareness.

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.
