Upcoming Awareness Events
I met so many nice people at our softball tournament, and was handed event flyers, DVD’s, therapy ideas, etc. So here’s some of the upcoming events to keep in mind.
Autism awareness night at Cooper Stadium-Aug. 20th. Several autism organizations will gather for the Clippers game that night. Autism families can get special reduced price tickets. And Brady and I (after his fine pitching performance Sunday) have been asked to throw out the first pitch. For more info email Doug Krinsky at .
A father told me about a Car Show at Polaris Parkway’s Quaker Steak and Lube Aug. 16 at 3pm. They’ll have live music, plenty of food and, of course, sweet cars! You can get more information by calling Mike Hoover at 580-7300. This benefits Oakstone Academy.
My favorite event of the year is the OAD Outing for Autism Sept. 8 at Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City. You can still reserve a foresome for the tournament and dinner/auction. Please call Dave Stynchula at 614-348-4483 and do it fast as spots are running out. And tell Dave you want to play in my foresome, ‘cause I’m totally winning this year!
The most significant event in terms of money raised, the Autism Speaks Walk kicks off Oct. 12th on OSU’s campus. Dr. Gee is the honorary chairman, and I’ve been asked to emcee the walk. Their aim is to raise more than 600-thousand dollars! For more info on you can join or sponsor a team for the walk, check out http://www.walknowforautism.org/columbus.
NBC4 will have a team in the walk!
Of course there are many, many more events going on. Post your event in the comment space for this article so everyone can read!
Peace
