Devin – In Honor of Dani Herrera

Devin is using his funding for the YMCA Summer Program. 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. Her amazing artwork has raised hundreds of dollars for Project iAm, so that we can continue to put all of our efforts and funding directly to families like Devin’s.

Ian – In Honor of John Grafing

Ian is using his Project iAm funds for summer camp through Camp Courageous.To put on a musical extravaganza, like Acoustics for Autism, Project iAm relies on the generosity of time and donations in an effort to raise as much money as possible. John has dedicated his time, equipment, and patience to us for the last three years by commandeering our party tent and music area. His professionalism and kindness make it possible to save the costs associated with an all day event and his willingness to do so is the reason Ian can receive the funding he has.

Jonathan – In Honor of Shannon Mohr

Jonathan will be using his funding for the Promedica Early Autism Full Time Program. Shannon came to Project iAm as a manager of a local restaurant who wanted to volunteer for events, and eventually has lent financial support in the form of donations and sponsorships in order to have events cost the charity as little as possible. She is always willing to help, fundraise, and solicit assistance for Project iAm so that we can continue to give money to our ASD kids!

Adrian – In Honor of Pricepro.Com

In January, just at the crux of our planning period for Acoustics for Autism, our home headquarters fell victim to a break in. Although there wasnt a huge loss, Price Pro.co stepped up to the plate and funded a security system for Project iAm, in an effort to help with our mission statement and keep our costs low. Without this kind gesture, Project iAm would have had to invest money that would have taken from our kids, like Adrian. Now, because of their generosity, Adrian has an opportunity to continue with his treatment choices throughout the summer.

Benjamin – In Honor of Alysha Martin

Ben is using his funds for the Promedica Early Autism Program. Alysha has been actively supportive of Project iAm for the past several years. However, in the last year, she has stepped up to the plate above and beyond anything anyone could have imagined and it has given our team a sense of security and lack of anxiety knowing we have been able to trust Alysha with such important duties. Without volunteers like Alysha, Project iAm would not be able to continue with the mission statement that we have strived so hard to protect and adhere to and children like Benjamin would not be benefitted from the program.

Shelby – In Honor of Buster Brown’S

Shelby will be using her funding toward the Promedica Early Autism Program. Little did we know in 2008, that Project iAm would grow and earn the respect it has over the last 9 years. Acoustics for Autism started out as a little event and has grown into something we never expected. If it werent for the businesses in Uptown Maumee and their graciousness, we could not stay loyal to our home and allow this event to grow. Katie and Zeke from Buster Browns have opened their doors to us and allowed us to provide additional venues for our musical extravaganza.

Braeden – In Honor of Torie Thorne

Braeden will be using his funding for the ASNO summer program. Torie has given so much of her time to Project iAm that she has become one of our go to people for anything we need. At our events, we have pure love and chaos and Torie is able to problem solve and bring much needed light heartedness to the everyone involved in making our events a success. Without people like Torie, Braeden would not be able to receive funding, as our events would be nothing without Ms. Thorne!

Ryan – In Honor of Chad Turner

Ryan is using his funding for the Promedica Early Autism Program.Chad has been actively supportive of Project iAm since we started. However, in the last year, he has stepped up to the plate above and beyond anything anyone could have imagined and it has saved Project iAm thousands of dollars in web services. Chads willingness and desire to help the Foundation has been an asset for which we could never thank him enough and because of Chad, Ryan is able to receive funding to help with his treatment.
