  • The Evening of the Stars was an amazing success raising over $54,000, which will go to help fund building the first home for young adults with autism. The event played host to some of the best talent that Canada has to offer including emcee for the evening Bill Carr, who kept everything moving smoothly and kept everyone laughing. "Dr. Music" Doug Riley amazed the crowd with his musical talent, and Cory Spence, a thirteen year old boy with autism from Albany PEI, won the crowd's hearts as he made them laugh and cry during his singing perfomance. Following Cory there was the first viewing of the "Faces of Autism on PEI", a slide show including pictures of Island children taken by Award winning portrait photographer Louise Vessey, and music perfromed by Cory.
    Our major sponsor for the evening was Rodd Hotel and Resorts. A big thanks to them for all their support, as well as our other sponsors: Prince Edward Air, The Travel Store, Kwik Kopy Design and Print Shop, Sobers, the Guardian, K-Rock and Ocean 100.3.
