A PINK PUMP Affair
We are excited to invite you to our signature spring fundraiser and awards show. The 15th Anniversary Extravaganza – A Pink Pump Affair, on May 21, 2023, at The Beverly Hilton. Join us as we celebrate the truly exceptional women who have lifted us up as we continue to serve hundreds of thousands of families and children with autism and related disabilities throughout Southern California.
A Pink Pump Affair is the absolute “can’t miss” spring event for women in Los Angeles! For the fifteenth year in a row, this much-anticipated event will bring together hundreds of professional and influential women for an exciting fundraiser, exclusive fashion show, and the presentation of Women of Distinction awards to some of the highly esteemed women whose leadership has inspired powerful growth and extraordinary change throughout our communities.
All proceeds from A Pink Pump Affair will help us finish the job with the opening of the landmark Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities (CADD) on the campus of the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital. SNN will finally have a central location where we can bring all our programs and services together under one roof. We are overjoyed at the prospect of how this will enhance the focus of our work in the South Los Angeles community.
Be sure to get your tickets today, as this highly-anticipated event sells out every year.
