The Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation hosts an Annual Dinner Dance each fall at the North Hills Country Club in Manhasset, NY.   Friends and supporters look forward to this event and have eagerly contributed to its success.  The event includes live and silent auction items, gift baskets and raffle prizes – along with dinner and dancing.  We welcome all to attend this inspirational evening!  After thoughtful review by our Board of Directors, eligible grants are awarded at this time.

Since its inception in 2001, the Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation has donated almost $1,000,000 to needy organizations to advance the lives of those with autism.  The following list includes some of the programs that have benefited from the generosity of our supporters and we are eternally grateful for their support:
