Team David hasn't added a story.
My name is Anne Haley...AKA, David's mom! David is my awesome 14 year old son who loves basketball, swimming, puzzles, singing, cooking and roller coasters! David is also an individual living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
ASD is a developmental disorder affecting people's ability to communicate and socialize and can also cause rigidity in schedules, routines and sensory issues. It is a lifelong disability. David was diagnosed at age 2 and has made leaps and bounds in his development thanks to various therapies such as ABA, speech, and OT. He has also benefitted tremendously from programs offered by Autism Support and Resource Center (ASRC), a local non-profit offering social, recreational and life skills programming. This non profit was started in 2002 by local parents/caregivers and is now the only type of organization in our county to offer programs specifically tailored to the needs of the ASD population. Over the past 5 years, David has enjoyed monthly socials, family events, tailored sports programs, recreational classes like dance and art, an awesome summer camp and more recently, lifeskill classes where he is learning to be as independent as possible! All in all, he's demonstrating to all who know him to "See The Able, Not The Label!"
ASRC does not receive any state or federal funding and relies solely on fundraising initiatives to run their organization and advance their programs. As mentioned above, their focus is programs that help participants in social, recreational and lifeskills classes. In 2017, ASRC renovated an existing space on their property to create an awesome LifeSkill Center called Garrett's Place. This $120,000 project, made possible 100% from fundraising efforts, has made classes like cooking, home maintenance, social skills and job preparation possible. This is incredibly important for individual approaching their adult years become as independent as possible. Regardless of where an individual falls on the spectrum, they deserve an opportunity to achieve independence in a way that makes sense for them.
I'm asking friends and family to considerer supporting me in the 13th Annual Ceremonial Walk For Autism....which has evolved to now include a competitive 5K run/walk! Funds raised at this event will go directly toward advancing the mission of ASRC and creating even more programs to assist the ASD population in our community. Also if you are a competitive runner/walker, you can also register for the 5K at https://runsignup.com/Race/MI/GrandBlanc/SeeTheAbleNotTheLabel5k
As you consider a donation, please visit www.geneseeautism.org to see more details on our programs and classes! I guarantee, your heart will be warmed to "See The Able, Not The Label"!!
Thank you for joining us for Autism Support and Resource Center (ASRC)’s 13th annual Family Fun Day! This year’s celebration will include our traditional 1/4 mile ceremonial walk as well as our first timed 5k run/walk presented by Italia Gardens! ASRC is a non-profit 501(c)3 founded in 2005 providing social, recreational and life skill opportunities for individuals living with autism across the lifespan. Proceeds from this “fun-raiser” will help advance our programming mission. We are proud to serve individuals with autism and their families from Genesee County and beyond!
Our Family Fun Day will be held on the scenic grounds of Creasey Bicentennial Park in Grand Blanc and features the free ceremonial walk for families affected by autism as well as bounce houses, concessions, vendors, lucky bucket raffles and lots of family fun from 10:00am-2:00pm
The ceremonial walk will be the kickoff of this spectacular day and gives participants a great opportunity to create a team of supporters to walk and fundraise alongside you. Please considering starting a team and invite your friends and family! Donations will go to ASRC to continue making a a positive impact on local families. We look forward to celebrating with our ASRC families and friends as well as the community at large!
