Dear Friends and family,

Thanks to your support and generosity, I have already met my fundraising goal!  I am so excited and hope to see you and your family and friends at the events that are coming up this month!  

The Kick off Event will be held at Space Gallery on Polk St. in San Francisco at 7pm on Thursday September 24th. This is  the signature fundraising event for Paddle for Autism Awareness. We will have music, drinks, appetizers and raffle tickets on sale for generous, locally donated prizes. We will also have  a silent auction of donated works of art  by Bay Area artists. All of the funds raised through this event will go directly to benefit the work of the Global Autism Project.

Mark your date book for Saturday September 26th at 10am and come out for Free Kayaking on Pier 40! This national kayaking event pairs experienced kayakers with children with autism and their friends and families for a day of summer fun. This event is not just for children with autism your friends and family can kayak too! Please visit our website to learn more: www.globalautismproject.org.

"Our vision is of a world where all children with autism will have access to effective services wherever in the world they live."
