4th Annual
Light Up the Night for Autism Gala
Thanks to everyone that joined us on Saturday, April 6th at the DoubleTree Suites in Andover, MA for a wonderful night of dinner, dancing and fundraising! The Atlantic Ave. Band was amazing as usual and we had 80+ on the dance floor as the lights came up at midnight.
The night was a tremendous succes, bringing in over $16,000 for the growing autism community!!!!
The JT Fortin Foundation for Autism was established to help the growing autism community.
Our focus has been on safety and education.
We established a Swim Scholarship to help people with autism become safe in the water. We are providing autism training, so teachers/first responders can best serve their autism students/community. We are donating Sensory Equipment and Assistive Technology to Special Education Departments to help children meet their challenges head on and thrive. We have also established a Family Grant fund to help autism families meet the needs of their loved ones with autism.
We spread awareness, not only of autism as a disorder but awareness of the human needs of our loved ones with autism. We promote inclusion and empathy as a must to help those with autism to feel the love, kindness, patience and understanding of the human spirit!!
