Family Initiative Raises Over $180,000 at Fourth Annual All In For Autism Casino Night

Family Initiative is pleased to announce the success of its fourth annual All In For Autism Casino Night held on October 26th at Overtime Sports Bar. This impactful event raised over $180,000 to benefit individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Southwest Florida, underscoring the community’s commitment to providing essential resources and support for local families.

Why This Event Matters: The All In For Autism Casino Night is more than a gathering—it’s a critical fundraiser for Family Initiative’s programs and services. Proceeds from the evening will go directly to therapeutic services, educational programs, and community outreach efforts designed to support the growth, development, and emotional well-being of children and families impacted by ASD. “We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our community,” said David Brown, LCSW, Co-Founder and President of Family Initiative. “Every ticket purchased and every dollar raised directly impacts the programs we offer while raising awareness about the needs of families affected by ASD.”

The annual celebration was held at Overtime Sports Pub on October 26th in Cape Coral, featuring complimentary food and drinks, live and silent auction, and casino games including Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, and Poker.
