Sponsorships:

Want to increase your impact? Become a sponsor and put your support of the autism community front and center.  Please note, the print deadline for sponsorships has passed. 

The Arc's Autism Resource Center provides information, referrals, and community-based programming to 4,000 individuals with autism and their families each year. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S.; today, one in 31 children is diagnosed, and we all know a child or family who is affected.

Music is a bridge in the world; it transcends language and can be understood and appreciated by people regardless of their communication skills. It serves as a conduit for connection, understanding, and expression, helping to bridge the gap for individuals with autism and the broader world. Through music, individuals can express their emotions, engage and relate with others, and enhance their social and emotional well-being. 

All funds raised through the concert will support the Autism Resource Center, including funding music therapy services. The Center has no state contracts, and services are supported through the generosity of friends like you. Thank you for your support. Rock on!
