Igniting Independence Gala 2025: Feel the inferno, Engulf the Mission

🔥 Get ready to spark something powerful! 🔥
Join us for the 4th Annual Igniting Independence Gala, an unforgettable night dedicated to fueling the mission of Independent Identity.

This year’s fire-themed semi-formal event will burn bright with passion, purpose, and community. Held at the stunning Chateau Bellevue in the heart of Downtown Austin, the evening promises glowing elegance and heartfelt impact.

Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner, indulgent desserts, and a fully stocked open bar. The night will come alive with a blazing live auction, an exciting silent auction, and fiery event games that will ignite your competitive spirit.

Every dollar raised keeps our flames burning year-round—supporting adults with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through life-changing services and programs that build independence, joy, and connection.

Dress Code: Inferno Chic, Semi-formal
Ages: 21+ only

This is more than a gala—it’s a movement.
Let’s turn up the heat and light the way forward, together.
