brighter futures

going above & beyond since 1982
NAC is driven by the belief that a child’s history is not their destiny and that a disability or medical diagnosis does not define them.

A Successful Night For NAC

A Successful Night For NAC
Spring Gala!
On May 14, 2025, the NAC Junior Board hosted the 12th Annual Night for NAC at Houston Hall—and what a night it was! With 300 guests in attendance, we raised an incredible $65,000 to support NAC’s children with complex medical needs and their families. The evening was filled with connection, inspiration, and generosity—and thanks to your support, we’re able to bring back one of NAC’s most meaningful traditions: the NAC Kids Olympics. Thank you to everyone who made the night so special.
