Paola Quiroz, Amit Anand, Kimberly Glenn, Lauri Tamney and Shelley Tidmore were among those who shared an evening of children, adolescents and fashionable fundraising adults showcasing their impressive talents on stage and walking the runway to support families impacted by autism at the Clarendon Ballroom Saturday night at Arts for Autism.

Lisa Spoden and Andrea Johnson took top honors as fundraising champions, helping the organization to raise funds to benefit the Intervention Assistance Fund, providing families with mini-grants offered by the Autism Society of Northern Virginia (ASNV) to pay for treatments and therapies not covered by local or state services.
