Last Saturday night, ACF had this super fun pool and water park all to ourselves! The wonderful staff at the Central Bucks YMCA in Doylestown opened their facility to us for a special after-hours event, and we thank them for showing us such a great time!

All ages were welcome at the Family Swimming Event. Participants enjoyed a splash pad, zero-entry wade pool, water-slide and a large lap pool with a jump platform! It was a wonderful way to warm up inside during winter!

On January 10th, Outback Steakhouse in Bensalem graciously hosted our Race for Resources Winner's Celebration. At this celebration, we invited the captains of our Top Ten Fundraising teams from the 2017 Race for Resources to recognize their amazing efforts and thank them for their important donation in person. Getting to know our strongest advocates and hearing the reason why they decided to start a team and make a bigger impact, was a wonderful way to spend our evening! Thank you to all of our hard-working and generous teams from the 2017 Race for Resources, we count on your support to be able to continue doing what we do for those with autism and other special needs.

Our talented Glee Club performed the National Anthem at the North vs. South Men's Basketball Game at Council Rock High School North on January 23rd.
