Austim organization supports vocational training, jobs and community projects

The Nicholas Center will celebrate their annual Night in White Gala on Thursday, July 20th at North Hempstead Country Club in Port Washington. The event will mark another stellar year of vocational skills training and supported employment, productive community projects and fostering vital peer connections for Autistic adults who face a staggering 85% unemployment and under-engagement once school ends. Event Sponsors are Liane Kupferberg Carter and Marc Carter. Dinner Sponsors are Loren and Wayne King.

Honoree Daniel Ryan is a long-time supporter and advocate of The Nicholas Center (TNC) saying, "Philanthropy has always been my greatest priority. I have done my best to make sure I give back to communities in need."

A father to three boys, including Jonathan, a young man with Autism, Daniel Ryan is a passionate advocate for the special needs and Veterans’ communities. He is a longtime supporter of The Nicholas Center both personally and via Unsung Siblings Foundation, which he formed in 2016 to address the needs of siblings of special needs individuals and the special needs community. He expanded support to include Veterans causes in honor of his late brother Christopher, a proud Army Veteran.
