Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) — There’s a special kind of magic that happens when music meets mission, and that magic will shine once again on the Alabama-Florida line as the Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival hosts its annual Autism Awareness Night. The beloved community event brings together songwriters, supporters, and families for an evening of music with a purpose.


Set for this Monday, November 10, the event will take place at the Flora-Bama Tent Stage, doors open at 5 p.m. Guests can expect an uplifting mix of live performances, raffles, door prizes, and a silent auction benefiting Autism Pensacola. Every dollar raised goes directly toward helping local children attend summer camp and participate in programs that foster growth, learning, and connection.

The evening will showcase top-tier songwriters from across the country, continuing the Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival's tradition of pairing exceptional craftsmanship with community outreach. These artists will share original songs and the stories behind them in an intimate, songwriter-focused format that has become a hallmark of the festival.


All proceeds will benefit Autism Pensacola and its programs for local children with autism. Funds support summer camps and year-round activities that foster growth, learning, and social connection. The goal is to expand access to supportive programs that build life skills while helping families find resources and community networks close to home.


Throughout the night, guests can participate in door prize drawings, raffles, and a silent auction featuring packages donated by generous community supporters. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with bidding and prize drawings, keeping the atmosphere fun and family-friendly while maximizing fundraising efforts.


Autism Pensacola serves families across the Pensacola Bay area with information, advocacy, and specialized programs. The organization's camps and activities focus on communication, independence, and inclusion. Community-backed events like this one sustain the training and enrichment opportunities that make these programs accessible to the children who need them most.


The public is invited to attend and support the cause. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime festival fan, the evening offers a chance to enjoy exceptional music while making a real impact on local services. Even small contributions at the auction or raffle can add up to significant results for Autism Pensacola's programs.
