Famed TV and radio host Larry King will be honored for his humanitarian efforts at the Autism Movement Therapy’s 2017 D.R.E.A.M. gala on Nov. 11 (his 84th birthday) at The Montage in Beverly Hills.
In addition to starting the Larry King Cardiac Foundation in 1998, he has raised over $150,000 in donations for helping autistic children in the past year. He kept autism a relevant topic on Larry King Live and most recently on Larry King Now.
The event will also honor Dr. Temple Grandin, Laura San Giacomo and Timothy Sykes. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Autism Movement Therapy and the Autism Works Now program which will help autistic youth transition into employment.
