On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Firefly Autism will host its 15th annual fundraising gala, Firefly Luminescent Gala! The Firefly Luminescent Gala marks an exciting new chapter for Firefly Autism — a new look, a new vibe, and a renewed commitment to illuminating the incredible potential within our community. This year’s event will dazzle with energy, purpose, and connection as we celebrate the brilliance that shines in every individual touched by Firefly’s mission.

Firefly’s annual gala continues to raise critical awareness and support for autism — the fastest-growing developmental disorder globally — while providing an unparalleled platform for impact. Firefly Autism remains Colorado’s leading organization for holistic, wraparound autism services. Since 2003, Firefly has transformed thousands of lives through the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), trauma-informed care, and person-centered planning — empowering each learner with the skills and confidence to navigate their world authentically.

This year’s Luminescent Gala will feature an unforgettable live performance by Kodi Lee, the blind and autistic musical prodigy who captured hearts around the world as the America’s Got Talent Season 14 winner. Kodi’s story — one of resilience, talent, and limitless possibility — beautifully mirrors Firefly’s mission to help every individual shine. Guests will also enjoy curated chef stations, specialty cocktails, live and silent auctions, and moments of inspiration that remind us why our light burns brightest together.

The success of our Luminescent gala ensures that Firefly can continue providing life-changing services to our communities, as well as expanding services to underserved families across the country.
