THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
The Paddle for Autism Awareness is the signature fundraising event of the Global Autism Project. The Global Autism Project works with children with autism in developing countries. Every summer, in several cities across the US, children with autism kayak (many of them for the first time in their lives) with their friends and families! We can't wait to see you out on the water this summer!
Though we only paddle Class I- flat water with our kids for the Paddle for Autism Awareness, we'd love the momentum of a Class V rapid in our fund and awareness raising events this summer!
All donations are gratefully appreciated!
Please be sure to write your paddler's name in the memo section, so we'll know who to give credit to--we have lots of great prizes for top fundraisers!
The Global Autism Project is a non-profit organization that works with children with autism in developing countries. In the United States, a child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes. In developing countries, we have no way of knowing the national situations. Dr. Eben Badoe is one of only thirty pediatricians in Ghana, a country of 19.4 million people. He is the only one diagnosing autism. He recently told us, “right now, I diagnose children and then I lose them in a way.” The Global Autism Project is working hard to change this. We bring research-proven methodologies of autism intervention to developing countries. A commitment to a balance of scientifically sound interventions and cultural sensitivity is integral to our work.
