The mission of The Concerto Project is to provide young adults on the autism spectrum with the vocational, social, and practical skills necessary for engaged and sustainable futures. This auction follows the momentum of a recent fundraising dinner at Dahlia Lounge in Seattle. Currently a nationwide crowdfunding campaign meant to gain contributions large and small, is in process. These events will all help to further the mission of The Concerto Project as it raises funds to purchase historic Mount Baker Farm on Orcas Island as the program campus.
