April is Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month, a time to amplify the experiences of individuals on the autism spectrum and foster a culture of kindness and inclusion. At PACE, we are committed to empowering individuals with autism and their families and strive to break down barriers that individuals with autism often face through education, advocacy, and support.
This year, we celebrate Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month with the theme #kindnessmatters. Throughout this month and beyond, we encourage acts of kindness, both big and small. Whether it’s lending a listening ear, offering a helping hand, or simply spreading awareness, every gesture of kindness creates ripple effects of positivity and acceptance. Join us in spreading the message that #kindnessmatters by participating in our campaign below!
Ways to participate:
- Make sure to tag us on Instagram and Facebook @pacificautismce and use the hashtag #PACEKindnessMatters
- Donate toward our fundraising goal of $20,000! In honor of Autism Awareness Month, please consider donating toward our goal of $20,000 to support PACE’s Annual Fund. The Annual Fund supports PACE’s school, residential, early intervention, and therapy programs for children and adults impacted by moderate-to-severe autism. Your donation helps PACE provide vital learning opportunities and services (such as music therapy) that state-funded autism services do not cover and supports staff enrichment and continuing education opportunities. Every gift makes a difference, no matter how big or small.
- Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn all month long for special interviews, stories, autism resources, and more.
