Stepping Up and Stepping Out For Autism
Community Resources would like to extend our gratitude to the many individuals who helped make our 1st Annual Stepping Up and Stepping Out for Autism event a wonderful success.
On October 23, at Western New England College, more than 150 individuals joined us for an evening full of fun and friendship. The event which was emceed by Brenda Garten, was also highlighted by speakers, Dr. Anthony Caprio (Pres., Western New England College), Dr. David Specht (Director, Community Resources), Carrie Lemelin (Board President, Community Resources), and Michelle Lemelin (a young adult with ASD and served by Community Resources). In addition to dining on delicious food from many local restaurants who donated their services, those who attended socialized and enjoyed both the raffle and silent auction.
The event raised approximately $12,000! The proceeds will be put directly towards helping the families we serve in the areas of educational advocacy and family support services. This will be a great benefit to many of the individuals who were dramatically affected by this year’s budget cuts.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Community Resources for People with Autism is a non-profit human service agency that provides services to individuals on the autism spectrum. Our services are provided thanks, in part, to private donations and fundraising events. While the number of children with autism we serve has increased 900% since 1991, funding has increased less than 90%.
While we applaud the efforts of researchers to determine what causes autism, our mission is to provide much needed assistance to families NOW. To do that we need your help! Our events are crucial to raising money, and they are a great way of getting involved! Please help us help the families we serve by supporting our fundraising efforts...
