30th Astaire Awards producer Patricia Watt and The Douglas Watt Family Fund for the Performing hosted their annual holiday bash to celebrate the success of the foundation's Dance and movement therapy programs for autistic children. Dance therapy has shown exemplary results for developmentally, emotionally and physically challenged children. The event also kicked off the organization's two Holiday Online Auctions. Both offer an array of gifts- from exotic travel packages, to artwork, Broadway tickets and holiday gift baskets. You can see them at http://www.biddingforgood.com/theastaireawards or
