As a grand finale to Autism Acceptance Month, Grant a Gift Autism Foundation - Ackerman Center partnered with REPS & STEPS for a Cause on Saturday, April 30th for a family-friendly outdoor workout fundraiser. Approximately 50 attendees came out to the event helping to raised a combined total of $3,600 for Grant a Gift!
Attendees participated in a morning filled with activity and exercise for the whole family. Held at PKWY Tavern - Flamingo, participants completed circuit training and their choice of a 5K run or 1 mile fun walk.
The WORKS Vocational Program
Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through the Vocational Program at Grant A Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center, we ensure that teens and adults with autism are provided the support necessary to gain meaningful employment.
Funds raised at this event will provide a young adult a sponsorship to access the WORKS Community Vocational Program, where they will learn pivotal skills such as building a resume, interviewing, and onsite work training at one of our partnered community sites – ensuring that these young adults are prepared to enter the workforce.
