Nolan's Village's Story

The whole family has benefitted from our friends and family each year. AutismUp has changed our lives. Nolan is in programming, "sib shops" have opened for Madeline to find siblings in the same position, I took on a job in Marketing. Working in the office I have learned how AutismUp bends over backwards to make sure families, including mine, have access to resources and programming. Nolan is in the run performance this year and after his first class he told me "my friend made me feel nice because he's like me". Words that make my passion for AutismUp so much stronger. So thank you for donating in the past, and thank you even more for donating this year. From the bottom of our hearts - Bradshaw's

It's our 10th annual KiteFlite Family FUNdraising Challenge! What began as a kite parade, has now grown to our biggest fundraiser and family festival at Sebreeze!

Our definition of KiteFlite is:
an act of lifting families with autism up; a journey to support those with autism taken with families & friends; an opportunity to come together and march in a kite parade and celebrate at Seabreeze on August 14, 2022.

KiteFlite is unlike any other fundraiser around and we like to do things differently, including spelling. ; ) We don't actually fly kites, instead we march in a kite parade with custom-decorated team kites across the fundraising finish line! Pretty AU-some, right?

Create a KiteFlite team and begin giving back to AutismUp. All funds raised through August 14th will support the good stuff happening at AU, and help teams earn prizes, including tickets to Seabreeze on the 14th. 

AutismUp is the leading 501(c)3 autism support organization in the Greater Rochester and surrounding areas. Founded in 2004, by a small group of parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, AutismUp has grown to include more than 3,100 families.  We rely on donations to expand and enhance programs and services for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and their families, that improve quality of life.  Learn more at autismup.org.
