Supporting Autism Families

At the Freddie Ford Family Foundation, we believe every child deserves a chance to shine, every family deserves a place to belong, and every voice deserves to be heard. For too long, children and families impacted by autism have been left without opportunities to connect, play, and celebrate in safe, welcoming spaces. That’s why we exist—to change that story.

Through programs like play dates, teen outings, and parent support groups, we create moments where families feel seen, supported, and understood. Our community education efforts spread awareness and foster acceptance of autism, building bridges of inclusion where barriers once stood.

But it’s in the joy-filled events that our mission comes alive:

🌸 At our Ausome Easter Egg Hunt, children light up with excitement as they explore at their own pace in a sensory-friendly environment.

☀️ At Camp Ausome, kids make new friends while families gain the comfort of knowing their children are safe and celebrated.

🎃 At our Trunk or Treat and 🎄 Christmas Party, families gather to enjoy traditions free from judgment—spaces designed with their unique needs in mind, where laughter replaces stress and belonging replaces isolation.

These moments may look like simple fun, but for families impacted by autism, they mean everything. They mean inclusion. They mean relief. They mean a reminder that they are not alone.

This Give 828 Day, you have the power to be part of this story. Your gift directly supports these programs and events, helping us continue to create a world where families impacted by autism are not overlooked but celebrated.

Together, we can build a community where acceptance is the norm, inclusion is the standard, and every child with autism is given the chance to thrive.

✨ Join us in making a difference. Support the Freddie Ford Family Foundation this Give 828 Day—and help us spread awareness, acceptance, and joy.
