Stuart Carlitz, Executive Chairman of Bedding Industries of America (BIA), has confirmed the company will serve as the $25,000 Presenting Sponsor for the 17th Annual Ante4autism event. The event will take place on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
“Stu has been a tireless supporter of this event and the cause,” said Doug Krinsky, Founder of Ante4autism. “He has been instrumental in helping support all that we do with our charity event over these 17 years.”
