Michael has been a loyal fan and supporter of Acoustics for Autism and has continued to give tirelessly to this organization so that Chloe, and our other ASD kids, can get the help and treatment they deserve!

Mr. Robinson is an asset to this charity and the community and it is our pleasure to honor him with this scholarship named after him.
Gabe – In Honor of Paul Accetola
Gabe will be using his funding from Project iAm for his continued therapy at Wood County Family Resources. Paul Accetola was a friend, contributor, and volunteer for Project iAm, known for his constant generosity. Paul would dedicate hours, not only at events, but also by making our “Vault keys” by the hundreds for our events. Unfortunately, Paul lost his battle with cancer just before Gabe was awarded this scholarship. We hope he feels the gratefulness from up above.
Joseph – In Honor of Mike Dibling
Joseph is using his scholarship money for the Mercy Autism Program. Mr. Dibling is new to the Project iAm family, but his generosity has allowed our Acoustics for Autism event in March to grow, while still allowing us to attain our mission. Allowing his property for our event, at no cost to us, has greatly contributed to our goal of raising money for our scholarship fund, while keeping our overhead low. Mr. Dibling is an amazing person and we are so thankful for his contributions to this organization!
Jovan – In Honor of Sean Mcmahon
Jovan has been using his funding at Toledo Children’s Hospital. Sean has not only actively volunteered though music, but he also has constantly spread the word and awareness of Project iAm. Without his help and enthusiasm, we would not be able to have the successful events we do!
Danny – In Honor of Steven Knurek
Danny was able to continue his therapy with Serenity Farms with his scholarship money. Stevie has been a musician at every music event we have had for Project iAm. He has also selflessly given his time at other events as a hardworking volunteer. Danny made Stevie a lovely art piece to show his appreciation for his dedication to Project iAm
