This year we decided to join in and help fundraise for the The Autism Resource Center. The center has been a valuable resource to this family not only for information on Autism but also for a tremendous amount of support. Last year was our first experience with their summer camp. We only stayed for an hour each day but Helen truly enjoyed the time spent near the water. This year we hope to go for a longer time. It's thanks to donations like this that the resource center is able to do such wonderful events for our kids. I know that the Resource center will be an important part of our family's lives and many other family's lives for years to come.

So please help us reach our fundraising goal - dig deep and donate now online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. Please forward this address to any family or friends that you think would like to help out.

If you rather send us a check, please make the check payable to "Autism Resource Center of Central Massachusetts" and mail the check to The Coppenraths at our home address.

E-mail me at jabsbo03@yahoo.com for our address if you do not have it as I would rather not post it on the internet.

Special thanks to the following people that will be joining Helen, Hana, Peter and me to form Team Penguin:  Stephanie Ashman and her daughter Lily, Tara Greaney, Coreen & Michael Gaffney, Paul & Francine Boucher, Michele Dutil, Greg Coppenrath, Frank Boucher, Santina Boucher, Bianca Boucher.
