Liezl’s 12th Annual Tea Party

Each year, two hundred women get invited to join Liezl Els in celebrating different cultures around the world at Liezl’s Annual Tea Party. While here, guests will get to indulge in delicious regional-themed foods and experience the unique features of each county through decor and entertainment. This exclusive luncheon event has grown incrementally each year – raising over $250,000 in a single afternoon. The Tea Party will raise funds through sponsorships, table and individual seat sales, the purchase of prize drawing tickets, and an elite silent auction.

With the funds raised through Liezl’s Annual Tea Party since 2010, the Els for Autism Foundation® has provided our clients with much-needed additions to The Els Center of Excellence® campus. We sincerely thank everyone who has attended and donated to the Tea Party, which helps us carry out our mission of creating a world of limitless possibilities for people with autism, their families, and those who care for them.

Liezl’s 12th Annual Tea Party has officially sold out! Join the waiting list by emailing Jennifer Nicholas at jennifer.nicholas@elsforautism.org.
