One of our Camp NUHOP Contest Winners 2016

In January, just at the crux of our planning period for Acoustics for Autism, our home headquarters fell victim to a break in. Although there wasnt a huge loss, Price Pro.co stepped up to the plate and funded a security system for Project iAm, in an effort to help with our mission statement and keep our costs low. Without this kind gesture, Project iAm would have had to invest money that would have taken from our kids, like Adrian. Now, because of their generosity, Adrian has an opportunity to continue with his treatment choices throughout the summer.

Ben is using his funds for the Promedica Early Autism Program. Alysha has been actively supportive of Project iAm for the past several years. However, in the last year, she has stepped up to the plate above and beyond anything anyone could have imagined and it has given our team a sense of security and lack of anxiety knowing we have been able to trust Alysha with such important duties. Without volunteers like Alysha, Project iAm would not be able to continue with the mission statement that we have strived so hard to protect and adhere to and children like Benjamin would not be benefitted from the program.

Shelby will be using her funding toward the Promedica Early Autism Program. Little did we know in 2008, that Project iAm would grow and earn the respect it has over the last 9 years. Acoustics for Autism started out as a little event and has grown into something we never expected. If it werent for the businesses in Uptown Maumee and their graciousness, we could not stay loyal to our home and allow this event to grow. Katie and Zeke from Buster Browns have opened their doors to us and allowed us to provide additional venues for our musical extravaganza.

Braeden will be using his funding for the ASNO summer program. Torie has given so much of her time to Project iAm that she has become one of our go to people for anything we need. At our events, we have pure love and chaos and Torie is able to problem solve and bring much needed light heartedness to the everyone involved in making our events a success. Without people like Torie, Braeden would not be able to receive funding, as our events would be nothing without Ms. Thorne!

Ryan is using his funding for the Promedica Early Autism Program.Chad has been actively supportive of Project iAm since we started. However, in the last year, he has stepped up to the plate above and beyond anything anyone could have imagined and it has saved Project iAm thousands of dollars in web services. Chads willingness and desire to help the Foundation has been an asset for which we could never thank him enough and because of Chad, Ryan is able to receive funding to help with his treatment.

Joshua and Nathan are using their funding for Allen’s Martial Arts.Gayle has devoted countless hours to Project iAm and all of our events. Theres never a time we have to ask her for anything, she simply reaches out and says put me where you need me. She has been an avid supporter of this organization in every way that is necessary to succeed. Having the loyalty and support from people like Gayle, make it possible for Nathan and Joshua to receive funding from Project iAm.

Hadi is involved with services in the Promedica Early Autism Program. Jeff Birdsell came to us originally as a beer representative and has become so much more to our organization. Jeff has spent countless hours offering his assistance, donating goods, and spending extra time to publicize and make sure our events run smoothly. Having an organization that is 100% volunteer run, can only work with people like Jeff a part of it!

Lincoln is using his funding for Speech Therapy. Mrs. Smith came to us in the last couple years and is one of the most faithful and hardworking volunteers we have ever had. Ms. Smith has consistently volunteered at every event before, during, and after she was needed. Her dedication and time to Project iAm has allowed us to raise the funds to help children like Lincoln!

Kai and Karys are using their funding for continued therapy at the Firelands Medical Center. Bruce has been a right hand man of Project iAm for several years now. He singlehandedly rallies the troops and provides several volunteers for all of our events. He is trustworthy and loyal and takes time away from his job and his many responsibilities in order to help all of the children that Project iAm seeks to fund. Without his tireless volunteering, Karys and Kai would not have been able to have the funding available to them that they are.
