Wow! Alot has happened since the Wilson and Blomberg families started this tournament to support amazing organizations that help families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders. Finn and Danny are now 11 years old !! How did that happen?
Last Year's Tournament : A special Thank You to everyone who participated in and supported last year’s event which raised a RECORD TOTAL of $12,500!!
With the funds raised we donated $8,500 to the Asperger/Autism Network (formerly
Aspergers Assoc of New England) who provides education, community support and advocacy to individuals and families affected by ASD.
We also donated $2,000 to South Shore YMCA Camp Gordan Clark’s inclusion program
which with increased supports helps high functioning ASD kids to experience the fun of summer camp with their peers.
Another $2,000 donation was given to The Rhythm Tree where board certified music therapist, Ryan
Judd, provides music therapy in northern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire for kids with autism and other special needs. Research suggests that benefits of music therapy with individuals with autism spectrum addresses communication, cognition, behaviors, social skills and interaction. Without insurance helping to cover therapy such as this it is sometimes a struggle for some families so with your help we made it a little easier for these kids to get the help they need.
