Grace – In Honor of Maumee Quickprint

Grace is using her scholarship money at the Toledo Hearing and Speech Center. Maumee Quickprint has been a great local business in uptown Maumee for years. They have shown so much generosity to us for our events that is has enabled us to save money and give it to children like Grace instead of using it for business expenses! Due to their dedication and hard work, we were able to successfully present Acoustics for AutismPlugged In!

Aidan – In Honor of Mickey Thompson

Aidan is using his funding at the University of Toledo Kinesiotherapy Center. Mickey Thompson is a special little boy in New Jersey who is living with ASD just like Aidan. Mickeys father has selflessly devoted time to Project iAm in honor of his son, including donating an amazing one of a kind item to Acoustics for Autism so that we can raise money to distribute to the children in our area, like Aidan. Thanks to Mickey and his struggles and accomplishments, we are spreading the good Project iAm name from coast to coast!

Joselyn – In Honor of The Lord Grizzly Brown

Joselyn is using her scholarship toward treatment at the Kaufman Clinic. If you listen to WIOT, you know who Grizzly Brown isbut if youve ever been to a Project iAm musical event, you know how much he supports us. Grizzly is one of Toledos most beloved radio deejays and we are fortunate enough to have him give Project iAm immense plugs whenever he can! Without his support and enthusiasm for our foundation, we would not have had the great success with our musical events that we have had. We love you Griz and keep Toledo rockin!

Aiden – In Honor of Joe Loeffler

In Honor of Joe Loeffler. Aiden is the lucky recipient of a scholarship and is using it for the CHIPS program. Joe Loeffler is one of our faithful volunteers who has dedicated his time and finances to Project iAm since our inception. Through all of his own tribulations, Joe has always been there for us no matter what physical pain he was enduring. Joe and his dedication to our charity will be greatly missed. Joseph Loeffler, March 8, 1961-January 30, 2011.
