This past weekend, The Autism Project was incredibly grateful to receive generous donations in support of Camp WANNAGOAGAIN! 💛

A sincere thank you to our motorcycle club partners:
Vengeance MC, Star Riders MC, Hells Angels MC, Road Rangers MC, Good Fellas RC, Leather Necks MC, and Viking Riders MC.

Your generosity helped us secure so many of our camp essentials for the summer ahead. From s’mores supplies and pool noodles, to sunscreen, bug spray, and gift cards—these donations directly support creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for our campers.

We are truly grateful for your continued support and partnership. It means more than we can say. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💙

TAP out in the community this week!

Our Family Support team visited Brown Avenue Elementary School, where students created sensory bottles—calming, hands-on fidgets designed for focus and self-regulation. Students chose their own colors and worked alongside our team to build something uniquely theirs.

Meanwhile, Unity Community enjoyed a community outing to the Johnston Public Library. Participants met with library staff, learned more about available resources, and even selected books to take home.

Two meaningful community experiences, one impactful week!
