AAG's Inaugural Uplift Talent Show


Xavier Olomo • Apr 24, 2024

In celebration of World Autism Month, Autism Ally Group held it's very first Uplift Talent Show. This event showcased all of the talents of neurodivergent participants from the Autism  Waiver, DDA and DDS programs at Renoxx Caregivers, our longtime partner, and was quite the event to remember. The heartfelt performances from participants evoked everything from emotion through songs like "Heal the World" to nostalgia through songs like "Les Poisson" from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

Talent didnt just stop at participants though. Even caretakers took to the stage with one singing their homegrown R&B leaving everyone absolutely stunned with his impressive vocals while another gave a thought provoking and uplifting spoken word performance.


You could feel the palpable emotion, excitement and happiness billowing through the room from the audience and a radiating sense of pride from caretakers as each participant gave their all after weeks of preparation and rehearsal. You could also feel the sense of camraderie the event nurtured between caretakers from all the programs and their respective sites.


This event was such a success, that we've decided not only to do it again but expand the event to caregiver organizations beyond Renoxx slated for this summer. Check out the event photos here and follow us on socials to stay in the loop!
