Thomas – In Honor of Cheryl Dillin
Thomas is new to theProjectiAm Familyandwill be using his funds for Rehab Dynamics.Theres way to much to say about this energetic powerhouse of a womantheres no way we could fit it into one paragraph, Cheryls energy, determination, and organization help Acoustics for Autism in more ways than you could ever imagine. Without her leadership and volunteering (all the way from Dayton, by the way), we could not pull off this huge event with the success we do!
Anthony – In Honor of “I Love My 419”
Anthony is using his funding for sensory items! The crew at the program I Love My 419 is always looking for ways to support the local community through their advertising and special appearances. We are so lucky to have Andre, Steve and the rest of the gang support and love Acoustics for Autism for the last 8+ years!
Noah – In Honor of “The Denny Schaffer Morning Show”
Noah is using his funding for continued services at Hopebridge Academy. You know and love the gang at the Denny Schaffer Morning show and we could not help all of our kids without them! The publicity and fun we have promoting Acoustics for Autism, and our other events, is only possible because of the kindness and generosity of people like Denny, Paul, and Suzie. We are so grateful for our partnership with Cumulus Media and all of their radio personalities!
Conner – Renewal In Honor of The Mettler Family
Conner has made amazing progress since first becoming a Project iAm kid in 2016! He is thriving with Speech and other therapies as well as using funding for Agility Angels and music lessons. Conner and his family have become close with their scholarship namesakes (The Mettler Family) and continue to update them on his great progress! We are so grateful for our iAm families!
Jimena – In Honor of Bcan
Jimena is a new iAm family member and is using funding toward her progress at Hopebridge. BCAN is known for bringing Arts and Entertainment to our area. But they are known to us and the company who helps us bring Acoustics for Autism to you! Always eager and willing to participate, they provide live streaming and tv viewing for our supporters who cant make the event in person. We are so thankful for this media exposure and for all they do for Project iAm
Gabriel – Renewal In Honor of Tj Stratton
We love getting updated from Gabriel and his mother about all the wonderful things he is doing with his Project iAm scholarship funding!
Theodore – In Honor of Char And Kelsey
Theodore will be using his funding for ABA therapy. Char and Kelsey are avid volunteers at all of our events. You can find them ALL DAY LONG helping us sell tickets and they never ask for anything in return (except an occasional gluten free beverage:) These dedicated volunteers allow us the opportunity to focus our attention on a smoothly run event and continue to raise money for children like Theodore!
Benjamin – In Honor of Grafing Productions
Benjamin is new to the iAm family and using his funding for at home care. What can we say about Grafing Productions other than they single-handedly make the Elks stage run smoothly all day! Their time and energy put into Acoustics for Autism helps us direct our funding to kids like Benjamin. Without the support of such wonderful people, we could not continue to bring you the best event in town!
The Ridoutt Family – In Honor of John Laprairie
The Ridoutt Family is using their funding for Speech Therapy through the University of Toledo. Arguably the nicest guy in rock and roll, John LaPrairie has been in the Toledo music scene for decades. His dedication to helping various causes and offering his time and help to everyone is unmatched! John has helped us in our performance and sound tech needs for years and is always willing to spread joy throughout the community!
Tyler – Renewal In Honor of Kyle White Lay
Tyler has been thriving in his music lessons and therapy and been part of our iAm family for ten years! We know how happy Musician Kyle White Lay always is to get updates on Tyler and his great progress through out the years. Keep it up Tyler and we will see you on stage in no time!
