Join us for an unforgettable evening of chef prepared fine dining, local wines and brews, an inspiring program, moving performances, and auction, all curated the Meristem way, with warmth, authenticity, and unlike any other nonprofit banquet or gala.  Feast of the Wreaths brings together local leaders, changemakers, and supporters to share in a special evening of connection, joy, and impact. Every dollar raised supports Meristem’s mission empowering autistic and neurodiverse young adults in building a life of greater capacities, confidence and independence.
Now in its fourth year, Feast of the Wreaths has become one of Meristem’s most anticipated events, selling out for 3 consecutive years, because it is so more than just a fundraiser, it is a celebration of community and the power of the possible. Just like the branches of a wreath, each of us may grow in different directions, carrying our own “imperfections.” But when woven together, those branches form a circle, still “imperfect,” yet strengthened, supported, and transformed by community.
We want to see you at Feast of the Wreaths!

Don’t miss out! Sponsor registration is open now! A limited number of individual tickets are now on sale!

Contribute to the Auction

Contribute to our curated auction and showcase your business, talent, or generosity to hundreds of engaged community members. For the first time this year we will be featuring a silent auction open to the public a week before the event, a number of exclusive packages only open to event attendees for in person bidding, and a small live auction at the event. Each item, experience, or certificate donated not only adds excitement to the excitement of the event, but also raises critical funds to support Meristem’s life changing programs and services.
