Programs

Freddie Ford Family Foundation is working very hard to implement programs that support families. Donations to our organization goes to support our programs including:

Heroes for Autism 5K and Mile

Our annual fundraiser is our Heroes for Autism 5K and 1 mile race. It is a fun morning for all involved and helps raise awareness and acceptance of autism.

Autism Play Dates & Teen Outings

In an effort to help autistic children and teens form friendships and to encourage social interaction, we host events in the community.

Ausome Easter Egg Hunt

The Easter Egg Hunt has grown from basket donations to a fun family event. Our autism families can enjoy hunting for eggs, receive a basket, and have fun free from judgment.

Camp Ausome

We created a summer camp for autistic children ages 6-11. Children are able to engage in sports and activities guided by staff with a background working with autistic children. Our trained staff will assist children in all activities so they are safe and able to enjoy themselves.

Educational Autism Webinars

We have a YouTube channel filled with all of our past webinars. We have videos with an experienced in speech language therapy as well as in ABA (applied behavioral therapy). We like to provide information to make it easier for parents who are just getting into an autism diagnosis and don't know where to turn.

Covid-19 Relief

During the Pandemic we started donating sensory boxes to families to help ease the stress and frustration of having kids home all day. We tried to support families with items that would help them pass the time or provide educational support. We donated gift cards, tablets and toys.

Support Families in Need

We work with other organizations to support needy families. We have donated new and gently used clothes and shoes to families for children.

Freddie Ford Family Foundation is always happy to partner with other organizations to support our autism community. Please feel free to contact us with any partnership opportunities.
