Tony Lam: The Inspiration for Andy’s Cafe

Collaborations for the greater good.

Every year, ALF methodically invites a group of influential strangers into a Fellows Program experience. Through leadership development, unique experiences, and deep relationship-building, the Fellows become a powerful community of collaborators.

Class XLII is a stellar example of this powerful collaborative spirit. In this short video, Entrepreneur and ALF Senior Fellow Tony Lam (Class XLII) shares what motivated him to create Andy’s Cafe, where autistic teens and adults can practice social skills while earning a paycheck.

Join Tony and countless other ALF Senior Fellows in continuing to make the ALF journey possible—where friendships evolve into transformative collaborations, providing lasting benefits to our entire community. Your contribution is integral to our mission and we deeply appreciate your involvement. Donate today!
