Autism Awareness Month- Please Donate to the Sonoma County Human Race for my school.

[slojmn]

Hi all,
The good Rev said I could post this here and try to drum up a little $$ for a good cause. I will be participating in the Sonoma County Human Race on May 5th to help raise money for the Anova Center for Education. We are a non-profit school serving kids with neuro-developmental disabilities, primarily Autism Spectrum Disorders. I am one of the original folks who started this school from the ground up in a grass roots effort to serve kids with a high quality education while also addressing their unique needs. Our school is truly one of a kind. We get folks visiting from all over the US to check out our program. I teach in one of our high school classrooms and I am the Director of Curriculum and Instruction in my spare time . We have three campuses in Northern California. Check out our website if you want to know more about our school and our fabulous students. Anova Education

In these trying economic times it is difficult to give when so many are in need. I totally understand the difficulty many people are facing these days. If you are moved to donate to my cause I am deeply appreciative. Thanks in advance. Please link to the following Human Race page and donate.

I am also selling some Zoas and chalices in the selling forum on R2R. I plan to donate 50% of my proceeds from the sales to the Human Race for Anova Center for Education. So if you feel like getting some corals for a good cause please check out the thread.

Hey Alica, thanks so much for all you are doing for the cause from the bottom of my heart. I owe a couple of vendors some money so my paypal account is very low but I donated whatever I had to you guys. My son Aidan has moderate/severe autism and it has been an extremely rough road for us, so reading threads like this is heaven sent. Good to know that there are people that care. God Bless and I'll check my tank and see if I can sell something to raise a couple of more dollars. I'm sure the vendors won't mind me being a little late with my payments

Frank, Thank you so very much for your donation. Every bit helps. The cool thing about our agency is that they put $$ where their mouths are...no lip service. I have never been told no if I ask for anything for our students. I love the work I do and I know it truly helps families. Its amazing to be part of something like this. I never dreamed that I would touch so many lives in such deep ways. To have a Grandmother say "Thank you" with tears in her eyes because her grandson said "I love you" for the first time in his 14 years is an unbelievable feeling. I hope your son Aidan has wonderful people in his life that truly "get" him. My hat is off to you as a parent.

Thanks Alicia and no problem on the donation. I was thinking of getting my son an ipad also. He's getting a little better verbally and I think it would help him a bunch. Good luck on raising the rest. I'll try to help out again towards the end of the month once I take care of what I owe to the vendors.

Kevin, How are you doing?? It's been a while. Thanks so much. I appreciate any bit you can donate.

The tank is doing well, for the most part. I still struggle with some of my sticks...they can be so finicky and I just haven't found the sweet spot for this tank. One of the chalices I got from you a couple years ago is huge...getting to be salad plate size, hehehehehe.

Thanks Frank...get the iPad. We are using them in the Speech and Language/Occupational Therapy clinics on all of our campuses with the kids and some of the kids really work well with them. I hope to get a couple in my classroom from this fundraiser. I can't wait.

Awesome...Thanks so much for any bit you can donate. There is a link to a video that was made at our school on our website that is really cool. Some of the kids and parents along with some of our staff speak about the work we do. If you get a chance check it out. Its a 20 minute video but I think the link on our site is just a small version of it. Take care and thanks again.
