Upcoming Events

We host a variety of events throughout the year from autism-friendly activities to training and education events. 

Golf Scramble and Bean Bag Tournament

Friday, June 23, 2023

You are invited to participate in our 5th Annual Golf and Bean Bag Tournament! Over the last 5 years we have raised thousands of dollars which have made a tremendous impact on children and families navigating the world differently with their autism and/or ADHD. This year’s early evening event will take place on Friday, June 23rd at Perham Lakeside Golf Club, and will include a 9-hole golf scramble, bean bag tournament, and dinner.

All money raised will go towards building our playground. Right now, our green space is a blank canvas with an opportunity to install a playground in a series of phases. Our current focus is on required fall protection surfacing, a shade structure and a playground structure.

As an agency focusing on supporting development through positive and shared experiences in play, having a safe outdoor space is essential to our mission and vision. With the support of grants and your help, we can continue to create a one of a kind space designed for the neurodivergent population we serve.
