Footprints Center for Autism

Footprints Center for Autism This organization was founded by Erin Bolyard, Nicole Best, and Claire Caldarea. We opened our doors to students in September of 2018. Why "Footprints"?

Footprints Center for Autism is an Ohio based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational and therapeutic services to individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. “Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession.” -Gabrielle Bernstein

Footprints Center for Autism is an Ohio based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedica

ted to providing educational and therapeutic services to individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, collaborative, and child-centered programming for individuals with autism in a positive and non-restrictive learning environment so that each child can reach their highest potential and achieve excellence in all aspects of life. Our services will include special education, speech therapy services, occupational therapy services, aide services, parent/professional collaboration opportunities, etc. We became officially incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of Ohio in August of 2017 and announced our organization on December 1, 2017. Why open a treatment center? The answer is simple. In each of us, there is an irreplacable spark that is ignited by this field of work. Each individual we've worked with has left his or her footprints on our hearts, and has impacted our lives for the better. Students and patients have come and gone, but are far from forgotten. These children have taught us how to change our perspective, how to celebrate small victories, how to find joy and laughter even in hard times, and how to unconditionally show love and have compassion for all people. Our greatest hope is to take what we've learned from these individuals and create a learning environment that is safe, joyful, and loving- an environment that allows each child to be successful, to learn at his or her own pace, and to feel confident in what they do as they leave their own set of footprints on our hearts and on the world. Thank you so very much for your support! Sincerely,

Erin and Nicole

🌟YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!|!🌟

Over the weekend, we sold nearly TWENTY getaway tickets for our raffle- which means that this year's A Blue Carpet Affair has raised the most funds in the event's history!!! 🎉🎉

I did see that a handful of people had a hard time using the PayPal interface, so wanted to leave a link here for purchasing a raffle ticket through Square. We'll keep this open through today, and pull a winner either tomorrow or Wednesday 🥰

💙 We did it… and we’re not done yet. 💙

Because of this incredible community, A Blue Carpet Affair raised $38,885, surpassing our original goal of $34,000! 🎉

We are so grateful for every single person who showed up, gave, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this event. This impact is real — and it directly supports the children and families we serve every day at Footprints Center for Autism.

✨ And here’s the exciting part…

If we sell just 6 more getaway tickets, this will officially become the highest-grossing Blue Carpet Affair in our event’s history.

So we’re keeping things open through the weekend! If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a ticket — now’s the time 💫

🎟️ https://footprintscenterforautism.com/getaway/

We’ll share an updated fundraising total and draw our getaway winner early next week!
