Talk About Amazing!

The 2012 Family & Friends Campaign raised over $119,000 this
year with the enthusiasm of over 1,200 TACA supporters nationwide!

Over the last 3 months, TACA fundraisers worked endlessly to reach
out to their community to raise funds and awareness for the great work
TACA is doing to provide education, empowerment and support to families across the U.S.

This effort is so important and allows TACA to continue our programs
at no charge to families living with autism. We appreciate all the hard work
for making this effort so successful.

TACA will continue to accept donations for this campaign until
December 31, 2012. Birthdays, holidays and year-end giving are
great opportunities to make a donation towards the
2012 Family & Friends Campaign.

Searching for and finding the right information to help your child can be overwhelming for families affected by autism. The Real Help Now Conference was developed to bring the latest information on medical, dietary and legal issues for children with autism, and most importantly, help parents through the often daunting process of determining how to organize and prioritize their intervention efforts.

Whether you are just starting out on the autism journey or are an experienced parent, you will learn from nationally known experts about how you can help your child at the Real Help Now Conference in Johns Creek, Georgia.  Early registration is open for $20 per person which includes a conference workbook and lunch.

Exhibitor and sponsorship opportunities for this event are available
on a limited basis. Please contact Violette Prentice for details: violette.prentice@tacanow.org or (949) 640-4401.
