Join us for "Shine a Light on Autism," a heartwarming, two-part event dedicated to celebrating and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum. This unique experience kicks off with a call for those on the spectrum to share their stories, coupled with a professional portrait session for a small donation. All proceeds will benefit Ability 2 Believe, a local organization committed to providing resources for individuals with different abilities. With limited spots available, this is a rare opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause while gaining a lasting memento. The second part of the event, happening on May 19th, promises an inspiring showcase of the captured photos and stories. Attendees will have the chance to meet local fire and police personnel who will present sensory-friendly items, enhancing the community's awareness and support for autism. Moreover, the event will spotlight talented autistic artisans, displaying their incredible creations. Participants can engage further by joining a silent auction, with all proceeds going to our charity partner, Ability 2 Believe. Don't miss this chance to "Shine a Light On Autism."
