Grant Recipients
Our signature fundraising event, a first-class golf tournament held in September of each year, raises substantial funds to support many excellent service providers that make a direct and profound difference in the lives of individuals affected by autism. The monies from that event, combined with donations received throughout the year, support many wonderful organizations across Canada for very specific programs.
