Kennedy – In Honor of Gary Geer
Kennedy is using her funding for ABA therapy at Mercy Health. Gary is simply the guy who says what can I do for you now? Even while battling his own health issues, he has been one of our go to people for all of our events including running around the city for us collecting donations and supplies. The dedication to our cause and to volunteering for Project iAm is exactly what our organization is about
Eloise – In Honor of Ken Koleszar
Eloise is a new addition to our Project iAm Family and will be using her funding to have ABA therapy at home while waiting for programs to open up! Kenny is a familiar face at all of our Project iAm events. You will see him doing everything from carrying ice and beverages, to being security, running silent auction items, to selling raffle tickets. Kenny has been a part of Project iAm since we started in 2008, simply because he loves the organization and what we stand for. Thank you Kenny for all your years of service!
Tyler –
We used funds from volunteering for Acoustics for Autism to get an exercise bike for Tyler, age 11. Tyler and his sister Liv are doing all remote classes during the pandemic. Mom, Lauren, is immunocompromised from Lyme disease. Homeschooling is very challenging and often the instructor will ask Ty to run around to get the wiggles out. Lauren thought a bike might help. Lauren purchased an app to take you on an excursion while you ride. So far there is lots of enthusiasm! Thank you! Such a great organization!
Gabriel – Renewal In Honor of Tj Stratton
Thank you Project iAm from Gabriel
Sam – Renewal In Honor of The City of Maumee
Sam is continuing to use his funding for Innate Chiropractic for his ASD needs. The City of Maumee is and will continue to be our home for Acoustics for Autism. Without the generosity of the city and the willingness to help us at every turn our biggest fundraiser for our scholarship fund, would not be able to occur!
Landon – Renewal In Honor of Kim Kohl
Landon will be attending the summer program at Saras Garden. Kims memory is forever eternalized with this scholarship given in her name to Landon. We miss her smiling face and wonderful dedication to our cause and volunteering!
Michael and Emily – In Honor of Tj Short
Michael and Emily are new to the iAm Family and will be using their funds for the Bright Horizons Consulting and Advocacy therapy. TJ has been a long time supporter, but a newer volunteer for Acoustics for Autism. He has become a huge asset for the charity by helping us with electrical needs, constant running, and helping with sponsorships. Thanks to people like TJ, we can continue to fund children like Michael and Emily
Luke – In Honor of Tam And Jaramie Brescol
Luke is using his funds toward the Toledo Speech Therapy Center. Tam and Jaramie have been a staple for Project iAm and Acoustics for Autism since we began so many years ago. They are consistently volunteering at events and helping promote, which saves us funds so that we can distribute they to children like Lucas. Without the help of people like Tam and Jaramie, we would not exist the way we do today!
