CAPE CORAL, Fl. (November 2025) Family Initiative, Inc. announced its 2025 All In for Autism Casino Night raised an impressive $237,500 to support programs that empower children and families impacted by autism across Southwest Florida.
The sold-out event, held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at the Family Initiative Golisano Autism Community Hub in Cape Coral, brought together more than 200 guests for an evening of high-energy gaming, live entertainment, auctions, and community spirit, all to benefit Family Initiative’s vital programs and hands-on services benefiting families affected by autism.
The event was made possible through the extraordinary generosity of Fabri-Tech, this year’s All In Sponsor, along with other major sponsors whose leadership and commitment to Family Initiative’s mission continue to create life-changing impact for children and families across the region.
“Casino Night is more than an event; it is a celebration of the families we serve and the community that stands beside them,” said David Brown, President and Co-Founder of Family Initiative. “As we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we are profoundly grateful for the unwavering generosity of our supporters. Their commitment empowers us to expand our programs, open new doors, and create a world where every child on the autism spectrum has the opportunity to thrive.”
Guests enjoyed classic casino games, a live auction, and gourmet dining while raising funds to expand Family Initiative’s clinical and community-based programs, including Thrive Academy and the organization’s mobile sensory outreach trailer, which provides support and screening services throughout Florida.
As Family Initiative marks a decade of impact in 2025, the organization continues to expand its reach, offering innovative services and fostering inclusion throughout Florida.
