What does a decade of LEAP for Autism actually represent?

A ten-year milestone for a community fundraiser is not a small thing. A lot of events do not make it that long, and the ones that do tend to look different in year ten than they did in year one. LEAP for Autism has held its core. Friends, colleagues, family members, and longtime supporters under one sky, all showing up for individuals with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities served by Greystone Programs.

This year, the energy at Skydive the Ranch matched the milestone. Tents went up. Music played. Food trucks lined the field. Families spread out blankets and watched the sky. And then, one by one, the leapers came down.

Where does the money actually go?

Funds raised at LEAP for Autism go directly into the lives of the individuals served by Greystone Programs. That means expressive arts, music, dance, equine therapy, and the kinds of programs that help people communicate, connect, and grow. It also means the residential settings where individuals live with dignity, and the staff who care for them every day.

None of the funds sit in a budget line waiting for a strategic plan. They flow through to programming. That is part of why this event has held its meaning year after year.
