Because of you- We did it!

By Betsy Roche | Director of Development

Well, you have done it again! We have reched our fundraising goal we put forth to you and your generosity has enabled us to meet and exceed our expectations!

We are so very happy to report that with your support we were able to:

Offer community-based programming during February and April school vacation weeks to over 100 children and teens and their families
Start a support group at a local Early Intervention organization where parents of children who are newly diagnosed with autism spectrum orders
provide outreach to other local organizations and make them aware that we are a resource for families and for people diagnosed with autism spectrum dirsorders
Provide Family Fun Days and continue to offer our social and recreational programming

We are so grateful for your support, and we hope you will continue to follow our organization and learn more about what we do at our website www.arcsouthnorfolk.org

We have posted a new project, Autism & Law Enforcement Education Coalition (ALEC), and are looking for funds to continue our First Responder training intitiative. To date, ALEC has trained over 35,000 First Responders and has received two grants from FEMA to bring their training to Fire Departments throughout the United States and to International Airports. We hope you will continue to support us as we provide services to people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, both directly and indirectly through training and education as well as information and referrals.
