Brennan – In Honor of Roberta Koralewski
“With the help of this scholarship Brennan will be able to continue with the therapists who have helped so much this last year and assists us with affording an increase to the frequency he goes so he can continue to develop and grow. We appreciate all of (Robertas) support for the Autistic community and families like ours. Thank you for all you do.”
Marshall – In Honor of The Turner Family
Marshall is using his funding for the Innate Health Chiropractic Services. The Turners not only volunteer their time to Project iAm, but they handle those pesky little things, we call taxes. Using their craft to help the charity, we are able to save hundreds of dollars so children like Marshall can receive the funding that he needs. Without volunteers like the Turner family, we would not exist today!
Conner – In Honor of The Mettler Family
Conner will be using his renewal forms for the Promedica Early Autism program and has shown great progress since he first began! As always, the Mettler family has continued to provide for Project iAm and Acoustics for Autism. As you know, monetary donations alone are not what fund this charity. Instead we have a family, with to ASD ties, that consistently give their time, their restaurant establishment, and their loyalty to the volunteers and children of Project iAm. Without all of this, Conner could not continue to receive the benefits he does. We hope this year, we are able to introduce you to the Mettlers at Acoustics for Autism!
Kaly – In Honor of Rachel Dannenbarger
Kaly (in honor of Rachel Dannenbarger): Kaly is new to the Project iAm Family and will be using her funds toward treatment at the ProMedica Early Autism Center. Rachel has volunteered for every event that Project iAm has hosted since 2013. Her friendly attitude and willingness to give her time to the charity has helped us raise thousands of dollars for children like Kaly. Without Rachel, we could not succeed the way we dotoday!
Brady – In Honor of Dave And Mary Brownell
Brady (in Honor of Dave and Mary Brownell).Brady will be using his funding for the EarlyAutism Program at Mercy.Dave and Mary are staples in Project iAm family. They have consistently donated goods, their time, and their fun loving attitude to our events. Without this kind of volunteering and donating, Project iAm would not be able to help children like Brady!

Thank you Project iAM!
Chloe – In Honor of Mike Toth
Dear Project Iam,I am writing to say thank you for the scholarship that your organization was kind and generous enough to give to me. Now I can continue to receive speech services at home and work on executive functioning skills with Ms. Katie from Exceeding Expectations. You have no idea how much I appreciate it, and how much it means to my family and I. Words will never be enough to do it justice. Project Iam means so much to me. I love your mission and what you do. Receiving this scholarship was a huge relief for me. It made me so happy because I still get to learn and grow through therapy! I love to do those things! I live life believing progress is always possible and thanks to you I can continue to learn new skills. Executive functioning skills are very hard for me. I have struggled with this challenge for years. My family and I have tried multiple things over the years and nothing worked for long until I started therapy at Exceeding Expectations. My bedroom is totally neat and transformed now and I have you to thank! I am learning so many important skills. Thanks for helping me be the best me I can be. Thank you for positively impacting my family and so many others! You are truly an amazing asset to our community. You make a difference.My best,Chloe Rothschild
