We're Psyched! is raising money for the Autism Society of Greater Akron (ASGA) because it is the local organization giving direct support to children and families living with autism in Summit, Stark, Wayne, Portage, and Medina Counties.
Step Into Autism is ASGA's signature and largest fundraising event. Individual donors provide 70% of ASGA's funding that supports programs and services throughout Northeast Ohio.
A meaningful example of the life-saving work that they do is the Water Safety Program. Drowning is a leading cause of death for those on the autism spectrum because water safety and swim education can be a challenge. However, ASGA's adaptive Water Safety Program has helped many youths with autism learn how to swim and be safe in and around water, while providing a fun and supportive environment. At the graduations, it is so powerful to see the pride and relief in the faces of family members who never thought it possible that their child would swim, as they watch their child do it!
ASGA's mission is "We create connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully." Please help me support individuals and families living with Autism today.

Any amount helps and gets us closer to our Team Fundraising goal!
Thank you in advance for your support.
