Everyone who buys a ticket to a Red Carpet event gains access to all of our services for the day, including demonstrations of our Velashape cellulite reduction treatments, our laser hair removal and laser skin tightening treatments, microdermabrasion, non-surgical face lifts, full body LED bed treatments, high pressure tanning beds, and much, much more!
The Opportunity
Tickets to the event will be priced at $99
100% of the money raised from ticket sales will be donated to A Hope for Autism, a local non-profit organization that works with ASD children and their families.
About “A Hope for Autism”


Our Family’s Story of the Future and Education of our Autistic Child

Casey is living proof that if autistic children get the proper guidance, education and encouragement, they can overcome many obstacles. Now in the 4th grade, Casey still has trouble socially with other children his age. Despite his difficulties, however, Casey is in taekwondo and piano classes, he has a huge vocabulary, loves to be around people and has a huge heart.
In two years, Casey should go to junior high school. As things stand now, he is a very happy child, but we cannot in good conscience allow his ego and/or feelings to be hurt by peer pressure and by being teased, bullied or simply misunderstood by parents or by other children. We have been forced to be very careful with the people we allow to get close to Casey, simply because many people – parents and other children alike – do not understand how to relate to autistic children.

Please Help Us!
Club Tan and Forever Young Medical Enhancement Centers are asking for your support to help spread the word, and to help us make this event a huge success. Please e-mail us at clubtancorp@aol.com and let us know if you can help us in this effort.

Our son Casey was diagnosed with autism at age 3. Since that time, our goal has always been to strive to do whatever it takes to help our little boy succeed. We have had many struggles along the way; we were told Casey might not ever talk and that he would probably not want to be around people, preferring instead to “live in his own world.” Casey is now 10 years old, and has had a lot of success and has also made some huge strides in his ability to function in our society.
Autism is an epidemic today, and these children deserve the right to have a school where they can simply be themselves. Special education, as it is practiced today, is not working, and we need to make a change to help autistic children reach their goals. We are fortunate that Casey functions at a high level, but these improvements in his capabilities came from social interaction, speech therapy, educational goals, and countless other opportunities that autistic children need and deserve. As the owners of Club Tan and Forever Young Medical Enhancement Centers, we fully support the efforts of Gayle and Robbin’s organization, and are looking forward to continuing our work in support of autism and autism-related organizations by working with them to make this event a huge success!
Gayle Woodruff, the co-founder of A Hope for Autism, got the inspiration to start this organization after searching for help for her son, Miles. Gayle searched the country for treatment options for her son. She was determined to make a difference for her son. She has received intensive training in how to work with her son, as well as how to manage a team of professionals that work with her son.
She co-sponsored three seminars for the Northwest families by bringing the CEO of the Option Institute to Portland, Eugene, and Seattle. After researching additional options for her son, Gayle has successfully maintained a treatment program that is both fun and effective!
Robbin Sobotka-Soles, the other co-founder of A Hope for Autism, has dedicated her career to working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She has been working with ASD children for over 15 years, and has had the opportunity to be a part of the lives of many children. A Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst, Robbin has had the opportunity to work as an in-home instructor providing evidenced based treatment and teaching for children. She has assisted many children transition into a classroom setting, and has supervised programs in the Northwest. She has worked alongside school professionals in order to create an optimal learning environment for each child she works with. Robbin has traveled throughout the United States and Canada in assisting professionals and families set up effective and evidenced based educational programs. She has developed and implemented training procedures designed to manage home based programs.
Robbin's current focus is on developing individualized teaching programs while utilizing the benefits and techniques of incidental teaching procedures to promote a more natural learning environment, relevant teaching material, and a focus on the interests of the child.
