President and CEO, Shepherd’s Way Inspiring stories from recent NEXT grant recipients University of Central Florida The NEXT for AUTISM grants program is made possible in large part due to consistent and dedicated funding generated by our Night of Too Many Stars live comedy event.
Night of Too Many Stars was created by longtime SNL and Conan O'Brien writer/producer Robert Smigel and his wife, Michelle Smigel, a NEXT for AUTISM board member, who struggled to find effective education for their autistic son, Daniel. On behalf of the hundreds of programs across the country that have benefited from the NEXT grant program, our deepest thanks to the Smigels for the laughter and joy they help bring to the stage.
