The first-ever Autism Sneakerball in Charlottesville promotes inclusion and supports families of children with special needs through music, games, and entertainment at the Upscale Event Center. Creator Chanell Jackson designed the event to provide a welcoming space where families feel supported, inspired by her own experience with a nephew who has Down syndrome. A portion of the proceeds will benefit autism programs and support services, with tickets available on Eventbrite.
