The 2024 Butterfly Ball was a resounding success, bringing together hundreds of dedicated individuals for an unforgettable evening. The event, presented by Decades Construction Group, raised over $600,000 in support of Bancroft’s mission to empower individuals with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities, and brain injuries, to live their best lives.

“Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, supporters and friends who attended the Butterfly Ball, we are able to say yes to the families who need us,” said Toni Pergolin, President and CEO. “The funds raised help us provide vital programs and services to children and adults with disabilities and brain injuries throughout our region.”

The night was filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, lively entertainment by dueling pianos, and the opportunity to connect with fellow supporters. More importantly, it was a celebration of the incredible impact Bancroft has on the lives of those it serves.

Adam Landau, a longtime Board Member, was honored with the Changing Lives Award for his instrumental role in supporting Bancroft’s mission over the years. The Vaughn Family, whose son Luke receives services from Bancroft and resides in one of our residential homes, received the Family Champion Award.

“Thank you, Bancroft, for a special night,” said Adam Landau. “More importantly, thank you for the services that you provide to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, whose lives would be vastly more challenging and significantly less hopeful without Bancroft in our community.”
