Jaidyn applied for and received a renewal of his scholarship at Serenity Farm for his Equestrian therapy. His grandmother states, “The saddest day was when Vail Meadows closed their doors for good. I had found Serenity Farm and visited their facility it is so wonderful there, but unfortunately we could not afford the therapy there. For nearly a year and a half now whenever we drive anywhere near a route toward the Horse Ranch Jai Jai says Nana Horse, look this way,. Nana Horse Please. And now because of your compassion, hard work and vigilance Jaidyn can resume what he is Passionate about and he will gain more words.

Parker will be using his funds for the Promedica Early Autism Program. Our organization would not be possible without the love and support of the musicians who encompass it. As we started to branch out and expand Acoustics for Autism, we found there were more and more children bands in the area who wanted to help. Our dear friend Chuck and his band The Wannabees have faithfully played our event for several years bringing entertainment to the hundreds of patrons and children. Without people like Chuck and his band, we would not be able to raise the money we do for children like Parker!

Addison will use her funding for the Bay Park Community program. Tom Jackson has been an avid volunteer for Project iAm since our first Acoustics for Autism. His kid friendly band has performed at every event and we look forward to seeing them again for their 10thyear in a row.

Antonio is using his funds for the Promedica Autism Program. The Leister Family. Julie and Linda have consistently supported Project iAm through events and their business Ye Olde Durty Bird, in addition to volunteering their time and efforts. Their late Father, Reg, was an avid supporter of our project and mission, often offering to provide transportation when needed, offer financial support, and donate items to Acoustics for Autism. We can think of no better way to honor Reg and his daughters, than to give Antonio a scholarship in their name.

This family donates their time, energy, and love to Project iAm so that we can save our overhead and distribute money to children like Conner for his continued progress.

Without Tony, we could not be who we are.

Dani has come to the charity in the last couple years, not only as a donor of her beautiful and creative artwork in order to raise funds for our charity, but also as a friend and volunteer.
