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
Karalyn – In Honor of Alen Spencer and Anthony Beck
Karalyn was awarded a scholarship to attend therapeutic horse riding at Serenity Farms. Anthony and Allen have been gracing Project iAm since its first Acoustics for Autism in 2008. They have continuously provided music, volunteers, publicity, and assistance of all kinds to the charity.
Adam – Renewal In Honor of Jim Tressel
Adam was renewed the Jim Tressel Scholarship, which he will be using for his treatment at Rehab Dynamics. Mr. Tressel has been supportive of Project iAm from day one and continues to send memorabilia for our auctions and raffles every year. Mr. Tressel has always shown us such generosity and class in his giving; we are proud to have been able to even remotely returned your generosity by naming this scholarship for Adam after you.
Tori – In Honor of Greg Dumas and John Utrup
Tori is using her scholarship funding for her treatment at the Sensory Learning Center. Greg and John, although living in Chicago, have traveled hours to be a part of Project iAm events and volunteer every chance they get. They have been generous in their donations to the silent auctions and with their time. Our out of town support means more than you could imagine!
Ayden – In Honor of Kristen Reinbolt
Ayden will be using his scholarship money for the Mercy Autism Program. Kristen Reinbolt is the reason Project iAm has brought this area one of the biggest musical events to date, Acoustics for Autism Plugged in! As one of the managers of The Shops at Fallen Timbers, she has been our key person in bringing these fun concerts for everyone to enjoy. Kristen is the reason we have our concerts to share with our community!
Drake – In Honor of Sid Marious
Drake will be using his renewal scholarship for services at Mercy Autism Center. Sid Marious continues to be a huge support of Project iAm and spends countless hours at our events helping to make it special for everyone.
Kamden – In Honor of Kristin Kinney
Kamden is just starting ABA therapy with Jenna Vendemo and has made strides in his few short sessions! Kristin is an avid volunteer, promoter, and dance floor fluffer for Project iAm and all our events. Willing to do anything the charity needs, you will find Kristin gathering donations, selling raffle tickets, and anything else in between!
Alex – In Honor of Michael Glabicki
Alex is very excited to participate in the Summer Camp at the NUHOP Program this year with his scholarship money. Michael Glabicki again surprised the community when he brought himself, along with his entire band Rusted Root, for an impromptu, last minute performance which benefitted Project iAm. This fun night brought together Michael and Alex’s mother for a first time face to face meeting and a heartfelt thank you.
Nikolas – In Honor of Scott Hayes
Nikolas will be attending the Ann Arbor Center with his renewal of the Scott Hayes Scholarship. Mr. Hayes has been an overly active volunteer and promoter for the charity since 2009. He has brought us countless sponsors and introduced Project iAm to a new kind of publicity that we otherwise would not have had. He has also volunteered both as a worker and a musician at every event we have had.
