What a wonderful day at the 21st Annual Westlake Golf and Country Club Fundraiser benefiting Autism New Jersey!

On Saturday, August 1, residents, friends, and supporters came together for a day of pickleball, tennis, dancing, and community. Over the past 21 years, this incredible event has raised more than $110,000 to help Autism New Jersey provide trusted information, advocacy, and critical resources to thousands of families statewide.

A heartfelt thank you to Steve and Arlene Friedland for their outstanding leadership and to everyone who participated, volunteered, and gave so generously. Your commitment continues to make a meaningful difference!
