ACF supporters enjoyed a beautiful day on the course at our inaugural golf outing!

On  Saturday September 23rd, Middletown Country Club in Langhorne welcomed ACF for our 2017 Charity Golf Outing. The day was filled  with warmth a nd sunshine, from the beautiful weather to our friendly participants.


ACF welcomed many familiar and new faces to enjoy a delicious banquet after 18 holes. Exciting raffle baskets and silent auction items raised very important funds that will allow ACF to continue running wonderful programs and providing resources for those with special needs. The entire day was full of generous and thoughtful support by all who attended.

In addition to all of our participants and the wonderful staff at Middletown Country Club, we would like to thank our Co-Chair John Dolan, our Hole-in-One Sponsor McCafferty Ford of Langhorne, and all of our 2017 hole sponsors. 1st Place went to Team Penn Community Bank, while 2nd and 3rd places were awarded to Team Siegel and Team Budget Fuel, respectively. 

We look forward to holding another outing next year and will let you know when to save the date soon!

Saying goodbye and good luck to our long time ACF staff member, Jasmine Ridgeway


I am sad to announce that after 5 years of service, Jasmine Ridgeway will no longer be working with us starting October 4th.  Jasmine has decided to take a wonderful opportunity with another company. We all regret Jasmine leaving but we can only respect her choice and wish her the best.  Jasmine has given so much to this organization. Her efforts are well recognized and we shall always remember how important her part was during the fast growth of Autism Cares Foundation and is part of the reason we are here today.

Please join us in thanking Jasmine for her dedication and wish her success in her next endeavor!

The FITLIFE fun continues...

Our ACF Fitlife Program is about to get even better. After a necessary time change, we appreciate that our participants have still been coming to move and stretch with us every Thursday night. Adding a 30-minute warm-up to the program has given us an opportunity to welcome certified yoga instructor, Pat White to the Fitlife-ACF Family! Pat has a passion to help and inspire others with her businesses in travel and healthy living. She was also a special educatio n teacher in the School District of Philadelphia for 19 years. Prior to those achievements, Pat honorably served her country for 20 years in the United States Marine Corps and Air Force. She currently resides in Philadelphia with her husband who is also a United States Marine, and their son. 

PLEASE JOIN US in welcoming Pat White to our Fitlife Program, which continues every Thursday from 7:30-8:30 PM at Fitlife Training Center: 157 Railroad Drive Ivyland, PA
