The 2026 Aspire Spring Gala was a night dreams are made of. On April 9, over 800 guests gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel Boston to raise critical funds for the Aspire program at Mass General Brigham for Children, which specializes in helping children, teens, and adults on the autism spectrum achieve success. The annual event raised nearly $2.5 million to support Aspire’s mission.

The evening was a celebration of the young people served by Aspire, and their hopes and dreams. This year’s theme — I dream of a world where… — gives voice to the wishes of Aspire’s participants: from a world filled with kindness, acceptance, and friendship to independent living and partnership.
