ATPF was proud to participate in #GivingTuesdayNow yesterday, May 5, 2020! #GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of giving activated as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19, and an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity to remain connected and heal.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, ATPF has stood true to our core mission of C.A.R.E.S. (Community Awareness, Advocacy, Research, and Early Intervention Screenings) by continuing to serve thousands of kids and families in our autism community. If you are able, we hope you will make a special gift to ATPF today!

Your gift of any amount will ensure that ATPF is able to sustain basic operating costs and assist in our ongoing efforts to make an impact on the autism community.
