Theodore – In Honor of Char And Kelsey

Theodore will be using his funding for ABA therapy. Char and Kelsey are avid volunteers at all of our events. You can find them ALL DAY LONG helping us sell tickets and they never ask for anything in return (except an occasional gluten free beverage:) These dedicated volunteers allow us the opportunity to focus our attention on a smoothly run event and continue to raise money for children like Theodore!

Benjamin – In Honor of Grafing Productions

Benjamin is new to the iAm family and using his funding for at home care. What can we say about Grafing Productions other than they single-handedly make the Elks stage run smoothly all day! Their time and energy put into Acoustics for Autism helps us direct our funding to kids like Benjamin. Without the support of such wonderful people, we could not continue to bring you the best event in town!

The Ridoutt Family – In Honor of John Laprairie

The Ridoutt Family is using their funding for Speech Therapy through the University of Toledo. Arguably the nicest guy in rock and roll, John LaPrairie has been in the Toledo music scene for decades. His dedication to helping various causes and offering his time and help to everyone is unmatched! John has helped us in our performance and sound tech needs for years and is always willing to spread joy throughout the community!

Henry – In Honor of Ken Casey

Henry is a new member of the iAm family and is using funds for various sensory products for at home use. Ken came to us last year with a willingness to help at Acoustics for Autism. His generosity allowed us to provide the Micki Smith stage and all of its sound needs for the countrys biggest free music event. The time and effort that Ken donates to Project iAm allows us to continue to support children like Henry!

Teddy – In Honor of Chad Sin

Teddy is a new iAm family member and will be using funding at Safe Splash School for Kids! Chad is a regular volunteer at Acoustics for Autism donating his musical talents and his equipment to us on the big stage. We know that most of you could not possibly understand what kind of help this is to us and how much time and money that consideration allows us to put money where it needs to goto children like Teddy!

Caue – In Honor of Corey “Big C” Coley

Caue will be using his funding for various activities and sensory supplies this summer! Big C, as we all know him, is the most kind and gentle giant! He has given so much time and musical ability to Project iAm over the last ten years that hes always a vivacious yes when you ask him to help. We are so excited for Caue to grow because of contributions of talent from people like Big C.
