2009  Autism Walk and Festival

Saturday May 30th,  11:00 a.m.

Our son 7 year old son Dante'  has come a long way since the diagnosis of ASD when he was 3.  The ASGGC has been a huge help in giving our family hope and sponsoring outings that our family can enjoy.  I know money is tight for everyone right now, but any little bit helps.  Below is the information for the walk and the reason for raising money. We appreciate all your prayers and support, oh and Dante' wants me to let you know, "Thank you everybody"

So, thank you for visiting our fundraising page!  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Lots of Love,

Keith, Aimee, Dante' and Dimitri Pizzo

Registration for the walk is FREE. This event will have a ton of entertainment: Bounce Houses, Puppet Shows, Lego Robotics, live animals, Clowns and Characters, lots of kid's activities, games,  and entertainment, great food & drink,  auctions,  raffles, and prizes!  There are two paved walking trails-.4 mi. & .7 mi.  Come join us for a fun day to help a great cause!  All proceeds go toward our Farm-based Residential Project for Autistic Adults.

Why we walk:  Autism now affects 1 out of every 150 children born. All net proceeds from this event will go toward the development of a farm-based Residential Community to provide for the care that will be necessary when these children reach adulthood. Our Residential Project is based on the successful Bittersweet Farm model.  Bittersweet is one of only a few programs around the country dedicated to adults with autism.  We are working with the staff at Bittersweet in order to replicate the Bittersweet model locally. www.bittersweetfarms.org

Our Residential Project Mission: To provide residential, employment, and general life supports for adults with autism so that they can lead involved and valued lives and achieve their maximum level of functioning and independence.  To provide families with peace of mind, answering the question, "what happens after I'm gone?" with "a happy, full, productive life."
