In its own words
Provide autism awareness via social media and annual gala event. We have already engaged people like Mike Lake to speak; Dr. Evdokia Anagnostou has spoken; Dr. Wendy Roberts (ISAND - The organization which developed 'Camp Thrive' initiative) and media (CTV news and Snap'd Vaughan) has aired a story about Matthew and Elpida. Fundraising proceeds are distributed to qualified donees such as Holland Bloorview Autism Research ISAND (Integrated Services for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders) and Geneva Centre for Autism to further our mission.
