A Symphony of Support: Trang & David Hooser Champion Arts Education for Autistic Youth at NSA's Annual Gala

LAS VEGAS - Dec. 22, 2025 - PRLog -- For many children, the arts are a cornerstone of growth, creativity, and self-expression. For autistic children, access to specialized arts education, like that offered by Nevada School of the Arts, can be truly life-changing, offering unique pathways for communication and skill development. This core belief is why prominent Las Vegas Realtor Trang Hooser and her husband, David Hooser, have announced their sponsorship of NSA's signature annual fundraiser, the DREAM Gala: LEGENDS.

The Spectrum Arts program at NSA is specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It employs highly trained instructors who utilize arts—including music and visual arts—to help students build confidence, develop essential motor skills, and improve social-emotional well-being.

"We believe in the power of the arts to unlock potential, especially for youth who may struggle with traditional forms of communication," states Trang Hooser. "The arts offer a non-verbal language, a way to connect and express themselves without pressure. Sponsoring the DREAM Gala allows us to directly fund scholarships and specialized instruction, ensuring financial ability is never a barrier to a child's artistic development."

The Hooser's ongoing dedication to the Nevada School of the Arts is deeply personal, stemming from their close relationship with NSA Chief Development Officer, Raja Rahman. A Juilliard-trained pianist and cultural visionary, Mr. Rahman leads NSA with a commitment to excellence and accessibility.

"Raja's passion for making world-class arts education available to all Las Vegas children, regardless of background or neurodiversity, is truly inspiring," says David Hooser. "Through our long-standing friendship, we've seen first-hand the impact NSA has on young lives. Supporting the DREAM Gala is our way of investing in the future leaders and artists of our community."

About the Dream Gala:

The DREAM Gala is NSA's largest yearly fundraiser, celebrating the transformative power of arts education in Southern Nevada. Funds raised will directly support the NSA Scholarship Fund, which provides need-based financial assistance, including support for the dedicated Spectrum Arts program. By championing this cause, the Hooser family underscores a fundamental truth: a healthy, vibrant community must nurture the intellectual and creative growth of all its youth.
