Support outdoor recreation and discovery

This year for Give 716, your gift will bring meaningful outdoor experiences to students at Summit Academy and adults in our STEPS community day programs. We’re raising $12,000 to outfit outdoor spaces with playground equipment, supplies for open-ended play, and materials that turn the outside world into a living classroom – planting boxes where students grow vegetables, herbs, and pollinator gardens, chalk and games, and tools for exploration and discovery. For adults in our STEPS programs, these spaces offer genuine recreation, fresh air, and connection in the community.

The outdoors is more than a break from the classroom. It’s a place to learn, grow, and thrive.

Double your impact

We’re excited to share that Foundation Board member Cindy DeMarti and her family have generously pledged to match donations dollar for dollar, up to $6,000! That means every gift made during Give 716 will be doubled until the match is met, helping your generosity go twice as far.

You can help individuals with autism thrive by donating on Give 716 Day.
