Griffin – In Honor of Tiffany Algarin
Griffin is new to the iAm family and using funding for sessions at Compass Rose Disability Advocates. There is a lot to be said about our Project iAm families especially the ones who give back the way Tiffany does. She volunteers her time and effort with her family and friends at all of our events. Having received benefits for her own child, she understands the importance of paying it forward to others in her situation. Having Tiffany a part of our organization has helped us flawlessly put on several events which earns money to distribute to children like Griffin!I
Ashley – Renewal In Honor of Pam Myers
Ashley was one of our very FIRST iAm kids back in 2009! Since that time she has grown and enjoys attending sessions at Love Beyond the Classroom! Pam was one of the very first supporters we ever had. Unfortunately, Toledo Hearing and Speech Center is no longer with us, but Pam gave us a chance when no one else would and helped make our first Acoustics for Autism the success that it was!
Noah – Renewal In Honor of The Denny Schaffer Show
Noah continues to thrive at Toledo Pediatric Speech and Hearing! The folks at the Denny Schaffer show have continued to support us in everything we do, so we can continue to raise money. We are so grateful for the constant publicity they give us and we couldnt do it without them!
Austin – In Honor of Tiffany Hornyak
Austin is using funding for guitar lessons! Tiffany Hornyak. Tiffany has been a volunteer for nearly a decade! Always willing to make things easier for us, Tiffany goes out of her way to help make our events successful. Because of the great teamwork from people like Tiffany, we can continue to fund children like Austin!
Owen – Renewal In Honor of Nwobtc
Owen is using his funding for the New Horizons Summer Program! Shaun and his crew are very integrated into the community and help in a various number of ways to make our area better than it is. Thanks to their generosity, we have been able to consistently put on one of the best events in the country and can make sure that the funds we raise go directly where it should, to children like Owen. Without this constant support, we would not be where we are today, having distributed over One Million Dollars to families with ASD in the Greater Toledo region!
Brandon – Renewal In Honor of Brandon Morris
Brandon is using funding toward Capable Kids Summer School this year! Brandon Morris has been an active volunteer behind the scenes and at events for the last several years and with his recent employment is our new sponsored Printer of choice. Brandon puts in countless hours on all computer and technical related Project iAm issues, which would normally cost the charity money that, instead, we can award to children like Brandon. Without Mr. Morris and his dedication to Project iAm, we would not be able to exist!
Annabelle – In Honor of The Josh Whitney
Annabelle is using funding toward safety improvements in the home. Josh is one of our most long standing volunteers. When Acoustics for Autism first started to grow, Josh not only offered musical talents to our event, but also his time, energy, and sound equipment to run our first expansion stage at Buster Browns. Without friends like Josh, we could not continue to save on the expenses we have so that money can be distributed to children like Annabelle.
Andrew – In Honor of The Lori Knannlein Archer
Andrew is using funding for sensory products as well as dental needs. Lori has been a volunteer for nearly a decade and has consistently taken on leadership roles in making our events successful. Without the help of people like Lori, our events would not run as beautifully as they do ensuring we can raise money for our iAm family, which now includes Andrew!
Tymofii – In Honor of The The Stein Foundation
Tymofii is using his funding for the Capable Kids Summer Program! The Stein Foundation was introduced to us by local music supporter Marty and his family. Over the last several years, their funding has helped us distribute scholarships to children like Tymofii because of their generosity!
Oliver – In Honor of The Wow Factor
Oliver is using funding for New Horizons summer program. The Wow Factor is a group of very fun musicians who have been a part of Acoustics for Autism for nearly a decade. Always willing to show support for our organization, these great guys give their time and lots of energy to bring a great show to our supporters year after year!
