Bowling for Autism - Buy tickets to help raise money!

I am the founder/organizer of a nonprofit called Bowling for Autism, which raises money to give back to local groups that support those with autism and special needs. This year will be its 12th year in existence, with its start in Pennsylvania where I'm originally from. When I moved to New York I wanted to get a branch of Bowling for Autism up and running and the inaugural event will be taking place on May 13, 2023. I started Bowling for Autism in honor of my brother, Sean, who is on the spectrum. I raise money through donations and my event, which has raffles, live music and of course, bowling. Bowling for Autism has become a big success in Pennsylvania and I hope to have that happen in New York as well. I am not as well known in the area as I am in Pennsylvania, but I am working on every effort to have a known presence in the community and Central New York so that it can be successful. With this being the first year having Bowling for Autism in New York, I want to get the word out as much as possible and I think it would be awesome to have the area sports teams involved and to have the mascots make an appearance. As I'm sure you know, the public loves seeing their mascots. Please consider taking part in Bowling for Autism.

Child Advocacy Center of Oswego County - Buy tickets to help raise money or visit our website for more information!

The Child Advocacy Center of Oswego County is a safe, child-friendly site where members of the Multi-Disciplinary Team of Oswego County gather to assist child abuse victims and their families. We are a non-profit 501(C)3. Our mission is to provide a safe, child-friendly environment that supports a timely, multi-disciplinary response to child sexual abuse, physical abuse and trauma, and promotes healing of victims and their families. Historically, children who were the victims of abuse allegations were shuffled from agency to agency where they would have to tell their story of abuse and relive painful events over and over again. We bring agencies and services together in one child-friendly setting that is non-threatening and physically and psychologically safe for children of all ages. In doing so, the intent is to minimize unnecessary interviews of children and the discomfort and embarrassment that talk about abuse can cause. The CAC also provides community outreach and efforts to aid in the prevention of child abuse throughout Oswego County.

We have found the need is ongoing and we are promoting literacy and education.

Go Red for Women Syracuse (AHA) - Buy tickets to help raise money or visit our website for more information!

We are Mothers. Sisters. Daughters. Wives. Partners. Friends. Warriors. Executives. Leaders. We are Women. Strong. Resilient. Relentless. Fierce. We are united by purpose and connected by passion, and we are flipping the script to ensure all women have the opportunity to live a long and healthy life. Since 2004, the Go Red for Women movement has educated millions of women about their No. 1 killer: cardiovascular disease. 1 in 3 women are dying - yet 80% of those deaths are preventable through lifestyle changes. We are also focusing on Hands-only CPR which can help double – or even triple – a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival. Alarmingly, women are less likely to receive bystander CPR, and women of color, even less so, making it more important now, more than ever, that we ALL know how to step in and help. It is crucial for us to say on mission to be relentless forces for longer, healthier lives.
