| On October
15, 2005, The Ryder Foundation hosted its first fundraising
event called "A Night of Miracles". Left Bank, Hog Island
Oyster Co. and Miette Organic Patisserie donated the food. Wines
were donated by Peters Family Winery. Two hundred and twenty people
attended. We had two fabulous M.D. speakers who gave a brief overview
of the bio-medical aspect of autism. The event was an absolute success
and we raised over $63,000 with expenses under $2,000. |
