What we raised & quo vadis
June 14th, 2010 | Published in News, Info
The final tally of funds raised for the Geneva Centre through The Autists on May 2, 2010, after every cent of expenses, is just over $177,000.
The Autists will rise again in spring 2011 — precise date still pending
Yes, we are amazed. Yes, the Geneva Centre will be able to do a great deal more good for those with autism who need a hand with socialization into the world out there. And yes, darn right we’re doing this again next year.
Where the money goes
The programs that receive this money cover many aspects of getting oneself productively into society — from the basic life skills of communicating, socializing and interacting to helping children and youth with autism spectrum make friends, participate more completely in school and learning skills that help them tap the job market and launch a career.
Another round of thanks
And all of you who volunteered, attended the event, played and performed at the event, donated cash, services and materials to transform The Autists from an uncut diamond into a gleaming, spanking, vivid reality — you are to be congratulated, thanked and lauded publicly. Let it be known that all of us on the Gala Steering Committee as well as the management, staff and volunteers at the Geneva Centre for Autism are doing our best to see that that happens.
