TACA’s 3rd Annual Friends & Family A BIG SUCCESS!

A special thank you to everyone who participated!
TACA’s efforts to provide autism awareness and raise much need funds for our growing membership surpassed previous years!

Ninety-five percent of what TACA provides is free – the last thing we want to do is fundraise from the families we serve. So we asked TACA families to talk to their circle of friends, family, neighbors and co-workers about autism and to support the organization that supports them.

We are happy to report:

Thank you to the above TACA teams and superstars for helping this campaign reach our goals!

We realize not every family can participate in TACA’s fundraising efforts and that is alright with TACA.  With efforts like the Friends and Family campaign TACA can continue the mission to serve the families affected by autism!

Thank you and we will be back next year to do this again!
