A very dear friend of mine is hosting this fundraiser. Get the little ones in your life and check it out!

Celebrating Neuro-Diversity is a benefit to help support 6 children who were nominated by their family and friends. All of these children have a Neurological Disorder. This year the common denominator is that each one of the children are on the Autism Spectrum. The funds that will be raised will be split evenly and go to the children to help pay medical bills, pay for the help of an aide and/or send the child to a summer camp for children with special needs.
To purchase tickets, make a donation or be a part of the raffle/auction please visit the Neuro-Diversity Website.
