Winston-Salem, NC Event Profile ABC of NC’s annual lunch invites the community to learn about ABC of NC while enjoying a delicious lunch in a reusable, take-home lunchbox and watching a presentation of first- hand stories from families who have benefited from the life-changing treatments at ABC of NC. Guests also hear from notable keynote speakers such as Dr. Maya Angelou (2013); Jason Katims, creator and executive producer of the hit television show Parenthood (2015); and Doug Flutie, football great and autism parent (2016) who share their experiences with autism.
