Autism Caring Center | Where Community Matters

🎉 Happy Birthday to Our Board President! 🎉

Today, we celebrate someone whose commitment to the autism community has created an impact that is truly beyond measure

Through his leadership, dedication, relationships, and belief in our mission, he has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support individuals with autism and their families throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania.

But his impact is so much greater than a dollar amount.

Those dollars have become programs. They have become opportunities. They have become friendships, resources, advocacy, family connections, and places where individuals with autism can simply belong.

Behind every dollar raised is a child who participated, a parent who felt supported, a family who found community, and an individual whose quality of life was made a little better.

We are incredibly grateful for the countless hours, energy, and heart you have given to this organization and, most importantly, to the people we serve.

Please join us in wishing our Board President a very **Happy Birthday** and thanking him for helping make the Autism Caring Center what it is today.

💙 Your impact on the autism community across Southwestern Pennsylvania will be felt for years to come.

Happy Birthday, Scott and thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue to prove that Where Community Matters isn't just our tagline—it's what we do every day

What an incredible year so far for the Autism Caring Center!

As I look back on everything we have accomplished so far, one thing stands out above everything else: we did this together!

Because of the Summer Fade Away Festival and the incredible sponsors, volunteers and supporters we are able to bring more programs, more opportunities, and more moments of connection and joy to individuals living with autism and their families across all of our locations.

We are heading into the next year stronger, reaching more communities, and able to deliver some truly amazing programs because of the foundation all of us built together

Check out our FREE programs on our website to learn more and find an event near you!
We can't wait to see you soon!
