Holly Madison Joins as Event Ambassador for the 15th Annual Grant a Gift Gala
We are thrilled to announce that New York Times bestselling author, famed television personality, and longtime Las Vegas resident, Holly Madison, will serve as a special event ambassador at the 15th Annual Grant a Gift Gala. The highly anticipated event will take place on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the iconic Allegiant Stadium, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters for an unforgettable evening under the theme: A Neon Night for Bright Futures.
A Personal Journey of Discovery
Madison recently opened up about her autism diagnosis, a moment she describes as both clarifying and validating.
“For much of my life, I struggled with social interactions, making eye contact and often felt different from those around me,” Madison shared. “My autism diagnosis brought clarity and a sense of validation, helping me better understand my experiences and emotions. I know how isolating it can feel, which is why I’m so grateful that organizations like Grant a Gift are here to provide early resources, guidance and hope for families in our community.”
By lending her voice, Madison is breaking down stigma, fostering greater awareness, and showing that every story—whether diagnosed early in life or later as an adult—has the power to inspire hope and belonging.
Standing with the Community She Calls Home
Las Vegas has been Madison’s home for more than 15 years, and her roots in the city run deep. Her decision to serve as gala ambassador reflects not only her personal journey, but also her dedication to uplifting children and families in the place she loves most.
“Las Vegas has been my home for over 15 years, and it means so much to me to stand with a mission that ensures children and families navigating the spectrum in the community I love never have to feel alone,” Madison said.
A Neon Night for Bright Futures
This year’s gala, themed A Neon Night for Bright Futures, will illuminate the evening with vibrant energy, dazzling entertainment, and powerful storytelling. As ambassador, Madison will help spotlight key moments throughout the program, elevating the gala’s mission to ensure that no child or family faces the challenges of autism without guidance, resources, and community support.
The 15th Annual Grant a Gift Gala promises not only to dazzle in true Las Vegas fashion, but to deepen its impact—reminding us all that behind the glow of neon lights, the true brilliance of the evening lies in connection, compassion, and community.
