Miles – Renewal In Honor of Gary Wagner

Dear Gary Wagner,Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to the cause of Acoustics for Autism. Families like ours are truly thankful that people like you are out there and are willing to donate your time and skills to put on an event like this. Autism comes with many challenges and expenses and the money raised from this event helps our family as well as so many others breath a sigh of relief knowing we can get some assistance towards the many expenses we face.Miles is our 6 year old son who was diagnosed with Autism when he was 3.5 years old. He goes to a school named New Horizons Academy and they are doing a great job with him and helping him improve in all areas.

This program helps him keep a consistent, familiar schedule in the summer and helps ease the transition back into his full-time school schedule in the fall.Thank you again for your knowledge and expertise in the Toledo Music Scene and Im sure Project I Am is very grateful to have you! We will forever be thankful to all the wonderful volunteers who help this cause!Thank you! Miles Csehi & Family
