Kamden – In Honor of Kristin Kinney

Kamden is just starting ABA therapy with Jenna Vendemo and has made strides in his few short sessions! Kristin is an avid volunteer, promoter, and dance floor fluffer for Project iAm and all our events. Willing to do anything the charity needs, you will find Kristin gathering donations, selling raffle tickets, and anything else in between!

Alex – In Honor of Michael Glabicki

Alex is very excited to participate in the Summer Camp at the NUHOP Program this year with his scholarship money. Michael Glabicki again surprised the community when he brought himself, along with his entire band Rusted Root, for an impromptu, last minute performance which benefitted Project iAm. This fun night brought together Michael and Alex’s mother for a first time face to face meeting and a heartfelt thank you.

Nikolas – In Honor of Scott Hayes

Nikolas will be attending the Ann Arbor Center with his renewal of the Scott Hayes Scholarship. Mr. Hayes has been an overly active volunteer and promoter for the charity since 2009. He has brought us countless sponsors and introduced Project iAm to a new kind of publicity that we otherwise would not have had. He has also volunteered both as a worker and a musician at every event we have had.

Mekhi – In Honor of The Shops at Fallen Timbers

Mekhi received at home health care from Williams Homes, LLC. The Shops at Fallen Timbers has been our host to Acoustics for Autism…Plugged in! year after year. Their generosity and willingness to accommodate the charity in every way allows us to provide a family fun, inexpensive musical experience for everyone!

Kasam – In Honor of The City of Maumee

Kasam will be receiving his continued therapy with Dr. Baker-Bowen. The City of Maumee is home to Project iAm and its events. Without question, they have given us every opportunity to allow Acoustics for Autism to expand while keeping in its home of Uptown Maumee.

James – In Honor of Mick Mason

James is using his funding for ABA therapy with Jenna Vendemo. Mick has volunteered at every event as a musician as well as works with children with ASD through guitar lessons. He has always made time for Project iAm and the children we support!

Bryar – In Honor of Mclaughlin Family

Brian and Trey McLaughlin have been supporting Project iAm events both through volunteer work and with music with Treys young band, Bulletproof snow, since 2009. This family hails from over two hours away, but continues to promote, attend, and spread awareness of our cause. Without supporters like the McLaughlin family, Project iAm would not have become the success it is today.

Drake – In Honor of Sid Marious

Sid Marious was the first person to offer his time to Project iAm at Acoustics for Autism in 2008. He is the official DJ of our charitywhich to some may not seem like much. But, what people dont think about, is that Sid is there from the start of the event until the bitter end every year after year, donating his time and energy for the kids of Project iAm. Sids selflessness does not go unrecognized, but will never be properly repaid. Without supporters like Sid, Project iAm would not have become the success it is today.
