Alex – In Honor of Synchronicity
Alex is a first-time recipient of a Project iAm scholarship and will be using his funds for Agility Angels. Synchronicity has been an active part of our media and branding for the last several years now. As you see all the time and effort that goes into making the Project iAm/Acoustics for Autism promo videos, remember that saving that money due to their generosity, is why we can fund scholarship’s for people like Alex!
Colson – In Honor of Bill Robison
Colson will be attending the New Horizons summer program this summer and is new to our iAm family. We are so sad to announce the passing of Great Lakes Sound founder, Bill Robison. It is his kindness and appreciation for charities like Project iAm that allows for us to fund scholarships for children like Colson. We are so proud to continue to honor his legacy and to keep Colson dancing to the sounds of Bills vision through Great Lakes Sound.
Ryker – Renewal In Honor of Hayley Posner
Ryker is using his renewal scholarship for New Horizons Academy. Hayley has been around for quite a few years helping Acoustics for Autism, but in 2022, she took on a much bigger role in helping with the organization and solicitation of donors. Without the dedication of people like Hayley, we could not do what we do!
Dakota – Renewal In Honor of Rob And Michelle Fairchild
Dakota is using his renewal funding for swim lessons! The Fairchilds continue to be the primary logistical force behind Acoustics for Autism.we dont create a labyrinth of tents on that cold day in March without them! Dakotas family and the Fairchilds have formed a bond over the issuance of this scholarship and they continue to love to watch his strides in his journey!
Michael – Renewal In Honor of Tj Short
Michael is using his renewal funding for specialized transportation to schooling.
Devin – Renewal In Honor of Dani Herrera
Devin is using his funding this year for YMCA camp to help with his equestrian therapy. Throughout any problems she and her family may have on their own, Dani has consistently been supportive of the community and Acoustics for Autism. We are so happy that she has remained a friend of Project iAm and loves to hear about Devins progress as he grows!
Devan – Renewal In Honor of Shelley Nytray
Devan comes back to us as one of our very first scholarship recipients! He will be attending treatment at Brain Balance. Shelley, although living in Chicago, has stayed a constant factor and volunteer with Project iAm. Because of that faith in our charity when we began, we have been able to become the great organization we are today! Thank you Shelley for your constant faith in us!
Jaxson – Renewal In Honor of The Andersons
We appreciate the support of Project iAm as well as the generosity from the Anderson Family for our son Jaxson. The continuous support has allowed for therapists to assist Jaxson and encourage him to participate in every day activities and how to be included in our community; functions we take for granted. Jaxson is learning to better interact and participate outside of home and school life.
Ryker – In Honor of Hayley Posner
Ryker is new to the iAm family and is using funding to go to summer camp at the New Horizons Academy this year! Hayley has been around for the last several years, primarily as the vault girl at Acoustics for Autism. Shes stepped up her volunteering significantly is the last year and is the reason we are able to help more children, like Ryker!

Sydney is using her renewal money for the New Horizons Summer Program in 2021. Sydney does so well with consistent programming, and with a full-day summer program for the whole month of July ,which will keep her skills sharp and help with her continued success.
