The CARD Gala, formerly known as Tropical Nights, is the signature annual fundraising event for CARD (Center for Autism & Related Disabilities), a collaborative program of the University of Miami and Nova Southeastern University. Funds raised during this special evening support the impactful services, evidence-based programs, and meaningful clinical research initiatives at CARD. The evening is also very much a celebration of our South Florida autism and related disabilities community. We hope you will join us in supporting YOUR Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of so many!
For those guests who are returning, rest assured that our event will be the same chic South Florida affair with a lively crowd and all the elements that make for a beautiful and fun night out for our families and our supporters. For those who will be joining us for the first time, The CARD Gala is a festive celebration filled with fine food, cocktails, music, dancing, and our collective embrace of people who make a difference in the lives of those with autism and related disabilities. The CARD Gala will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the beautiful InterContinental Miami Hotel, and we hope to see you there.
We are extremely grateful for your overwhelming support over all these years. We simply could not deliver the range and quality of services, which are provide at no direct cost to clients, without the generous contributions of our private and corporate donors as part of this event.
We look forward to celebrating with you at The CARD Gala!
