We are thrilled to announce that the Yawl Ketch the Spirit…of Devereux was a resounding success! With 150 guests in their nautical chic attire, we created a Nauti-Cool night filled with dancing, delicious food, and unforgettable moments. This success is a testament to the community’s unwavering support.

The event netted $58,500 for youth ages 6 to 17 with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities in Devereux’s Autism Residential Program.

Event Highlights:

• $23,200 was raised for Augmentative and Alternative Communication Devices. These devices play a crucial role in helping individuals with autism communicate effectively, giving them the right tools to engage with the world around them.
• Exhilarating live auction with Suzi Hanks, where the Men on Fire, a Houston Firefighter Experience, sold twice!
• Jennifer Bowers won the designer Louis Vuitton package raffle, sponsored by Clean Coast Supply.
• Carole Ryan, Kathy Brennock, and Bonnie Graham won the Heads or Tails game and took home a whiskey barrel full of booze.

“We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support we received for the Yawl Ketch the Spirit…of Devereux event. The funds raised will directly benefit the youth in our care, providing them the support and resources they need to thrive.” Pam Reed, Executive Director.
