The Friends of Autism began very humbly over two decades ago. This golf event is now in its 24th year and so much good has come from our work together with golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and friends. Thank you all. As we announced at last year’s outing, there will be some changes on the horizon and one of those is that we have decided to make Journey21 the focus of our efforts going forward. A newer nonprofit that serves adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), Journey21 serves 150 adults in its various programs. Recently, they built a new Enrichment Center on a 12-acre site in Oconomowoc at the west end of Pabst Farms. Recently, the Friends of Autism made a grant to Journey21 of $175,000 in support of their mission. Going forward, we hope that this golf outing will continue to be a source of revenue to support this growing organization which in several years will also include a residential living community. We hope you will continue to support this event. For more information, go to www.journey21.org.
