Joseph – In Honor of Carmen Miller

Joseph is using his funding for Broadie and Wargo Sensory Therapy. Carmen is known in our area for having a ton of soul and energy and brings it with every performance. Carmen doesnt just volunteer her time singing though, you will also see her signing up to help at all of our events no matter what the job. It is this kind of wonderful volunteer that makes us who we are!

Dakota – Renewal In Honor of Rob And Michelle Fairchild

I wanted to send a quick update on Dakota. He is making so many strides! Dakota is speaking 50% of his communication and working very hard on learning how to express his feelings wants and needs. Music Therapy has been absolutely amazing for him. He asks almost every day to do to the drum shop and lights up from ear to ear when he sees us heading that way. Not only has his communication gotten a lot better, but he is also engaging in play with his sister and able to follow multiple step directions at home. He is doing great at school and his other therapies as well. We want to thank Project iAm and all their supporters for making this possible for Dakota!!

Waverly – In Honor of Dave Stella

Waverly is new to Project iAm and using her funding for swim and communication lessons! Dave is a one of a kind staple in the Toledo music scene as the frontman for none other than The Grape Smugglers. His passion to give back to not only Project iAm, but his own foundation for childhood cancer makes him someone we are proud to call a friend!

Alexander – In Honor of Aaron Krott

Alexander is using his funds for the Rehab Dynamics Summer Program. Aaron is a newer volunteer to the Project iAm Family. Lending his musical talents as well as sound engineering capabilities for the betterment of Acoustics for Autism, the time and effort he puts into our event allows us to continue to support children like Alexander!

Anthony – In Honor of “I Love My 419”

Anthony is using his funding for sensory items! The crew at the program I Love My 419 is always looking for ways to support the local community through their advertising and special appearances. We are so lucky to have Andre, Steve and the rest of the gang support and love Acoustics for Autism for the last 8+ years!

Noah – In Honor of “The Denny Schaffer Morning Show”

Noah is using his funding for continued services at Hopebridge Academy. You know and love the gang at the Denny Schaffer Morning show and we could not help all of our kids without them! The publicity and fun we have promoting Acoustics for Autism, and our other events, is only possible because of the kindness and generosity of people like Denny, Paul, and Suzie. We are so grateful for our partnership with Cumulus Media and all of their radio personalities!

Miles – In Honor of Gary Wagner

Miles is a new iAm Family member and is using his funding for enrollment in the New Horizons Summer Program! Gary Wagner has been running sound and donating his abilities, equipment, and talent to Acoustics for Autism for the last 5 years. Gary is a remarkable friend to the charity and helps us with the long hours that go into putting on this event. Without the help of people like Gary, we would not be able to bring you the Buster Browns Stage at AFA!

Brody – In Honor of Shaun And Meredith

Brody is using his funding for an assistance dog through The Ability Center. Shaun and Meredith come to us as social media gurus, always volunteering their time to help Project iAm. They publicize and promote the events we do better than anyone around and helped to put Acoustics for Autism on a national map! We are so glad to have them in our corner.
