Last year, every player had the chance to win a set of Yeti coolers if they scored a hole in one on a par 3 tee. Prizes at the outing this year will include cash, show tickets, and a host of live auction and raffle items. Stay up to date with our newsletter and social media to catch exciting previews of the great items we are offering at our event!

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT

Support Group for Black & Brown Parents and Caregivers

There are persistent racial disparities in autism diagnosis and treatment, and we know individuals and families in our community need help navigating through the unique challenges they face. Join other parents, families, and caregivers for our Support Group for Black & Brown Families on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 7-8:30 p.m. ET on Zoom. The group supports, educates, and advocates for a unique segment of the population that is often misunderstood, underrepresented, and forgotten. Talk about the joys and challenges of raising a child with autism with families at every point in their autism journey – you are not alone!

 

Please register in advance via our group Zoom link. After you sign up, you’ll be emailed the Zoom link and passcode. For more information about the group, visit our site at the link below.
