“This fundraiser has been motivated by a strong desire to do something positive for our community and help families affected by autism in the state of Oregon,” said Rowley. Rowley and Carlson both have family friends that have been affected by autism and view this as an opportunity to help. All proceeds will benefit TACA and enable them to set up a chapter of their organization in Oregon and continue helping families affected by this neurological disorder.

About Autism

Autism is a devastating neurological and biological disorder typically affecting children between the ages of 18 months to five years of age.   One in every 150 children in the United States has autism. Autism affects each individual differently and at different levels of severity. Some individuals with autism are severely affected, cannot speak, require constant one on one care, and are never able to live on their own. While others are less severe, can communicate and eventually acquire the necessary skills to live on their own.
