“22” IS THE MAGIC NUMBER AS WE
KICK OFF OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN! As a result of the current COVID restrictions, we made the decision to cancel our 2021 Run/Walk for Autism. (Our run registration fee would have been $25.) In the spirit of giving, we thought we would ask our run patrons, sponsors and the entire Bailey’s Team community to contribute to a special “22” Campaign. Bailey will turn 22 on October 2, a major transition event from the public school system to adult services and programming. To celebrate this milestone for Bailey, and all those with autism turning 22 this year, we are asking our Team for a small donation of $22.00. If two thirds of the people receiving this newsletter, along with those on social media, each donated $22.00, we could raise upwards of $22,000 from this campaign alone! We are excited to announce that we have re-visited our mission and vision along with the information provided about how different groups define autism and the value associated with each definition.
We also provide a list of resources in an effort to offer further support to individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families. Please go to the “About”, “Mission, Vision & Values” and “What is Autism” pages on this website. WE STILL HAVE CALENDARS AVAILABLE
