Pranav – In Honor of Fred Lefebvre
Pranav is using his funding for therapy at The Wood County Hospital.Fred has consistently helped promote Acoustics for Autism and Project iAm on his radio show for various years as well as being a sponsor! Freds dedication to helping the Northwest Ohio community as a whole is unmatched and we are so lucky to have him on our side. Without the free support of people like Fred, our organization could not do the things we do for children like Pranav!
Colson – Renewal In Honor of Bill Robison/Great Lakes Sound
Colson is using his renewal scholarship at Saras Garden this summer. As we all know, we could NOT throw a tent party without the wonderful assistance of our friends at Great Lakes Sound! Their contribution to the success of Acoustics for Autism is second to none! We are honored to have them in our corner!
Liam – In Honor of Scott Sands
Liam is new to the iAm family and using his funding for the Hopebridge Program. Scott has consistently helped promote Acoustics for Autism and Project iAm on his radio show for various years. He also is party of our cash grab team and helps us fundraise during the event. Without the free support of people like Scott, our organization could not do the things we do for children like Liam!
Henry – In Honor of Tiffany And Patrick Caligiuri
Henry is using his funds for continued treatment at Wood County Hospital. While they are newer volunteers to Acoustics for Autism, there is one thing that sets this family apart from others. As you know, we have hundreds of musicians who donate their time and effort to Acoustics for Autismbut Patrick not only plays music for us, he and Tiffany spend all day Saturday and Sunday helping us volunteer and set up the event in addition to that musical donation. Without their dedication to the cause with their time and energy, we could not do what we do, which is help children like Henry!
Ronan – In Honor of The Horrigan Family
Ronan is new to the iAm family and will be using his funding for the New Horizons Summer Program! Dean and Kerry came to us in 2022 with the willingness to allow us the use of their property for our office space at Acoustics for Autism. Thanks to their kindness, we have been able to make them part of the Project iAm Family with their volunteering time and resources to host a successful event. Without volunteers like the Horrigans, we would not be able to grant scholarships for children like Ronan!
Henry – In Honor of John Mcafee
Henry is new to the iAm family and is using his funding for therapy at Wood County Hospital. John has been a staple in the Toledo Music Scene for decades. He has recently become involved with Acoustics for Autism, not only as a musician but also as our sound director for our most recent Conant Street Stage. Our sound engineers donate their time, equipment, and energy all day on the first Sunday in March and do so brilliantly. These resources are imperative to the success of a 90-band music festival. Without volunteers like John, we could not exist the way that we do!
Brandon – Renewal In Honor of Brandon Morris
Brandon used his funding for the Capable Kids program. Brandon Morris hase been an active volunteer behind the scenes and at events for the last several years and with his recent employment is our new sponsored Printer of choice. Brandon puts in countless hours on all computer and technical related Project iAm issues, which would normally cost the charity money that, instead, we can award to children like Brandon. Without Mr. Morris and his dedication to Project iAm, we would not be able to exist!
Thomas – In Honor of Cheryl Dillin
Thomas is new to theProjectiAm Familyandwill be using his funds for Rehab Dynamics.Theres way to much to say about this energetic powerhouse of a womantheres no way we could fit it into one paragraph, Cheryls energy, determination, and organization help Acoustics for Autism in more ways than you could ever imagine. Without her leadership and volunteering (all the way from Dayton, by the way), we could not pull off this huge event with the success we do!
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!
