Cayden – In Honor of Dan Cummins
Cayden is using his funding for attendance in the Goldman Union Camp Institute Summer Program. You all know Dan from WTOL, but did you know he and his family have been avid supporters of Acoustics for Autism for many years? Aside from their constant volunteering, Dan has also made sure to help us with promotion at WTOL with interviews and commercials so that we can put all our earned funds to good use, like we did for Cayden!
Mason – In Honor of Anne Eckhardt
Mason is using his funding to go to the Capable Kids Summer Program. Anne joined us several years ago and has been one of our team leaders behind our bars at all of our events. Without her time and dedication to volunteering, we would not be able to help Mason like we have! Thank you Anne!
Jayden – Renewal In Honor of Small Box Music
Jayden is using his scholarship renewal for Saras Gardens summer program. As you all know Small Box Music has become an ever-faithful venue for Acoustics for Autism and has only grown in the last couple of years! We are so happy that John continues to be a part of this amazing event
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!
