Events

Our success is your success as we create a world that accepts our children with compassion, understanding and respect. Those are our guiding principles as we form our annual goals for ASBC fundraising events. ASBC provides autism education and awareness in Northern Colorado throughout this year's events as stated in our Mission and Vision. Fundraising events are held in the spring and the fall. April is National Autism Awareness Month (NAAM) and ASBC celebrates with an art show. The "Through My Eyes" art show highlights the talents and abilities of individuals affected by ASD in Boulder and Broomfield Counties. The ASBC Family Picnic celebrates family and gives some much needed respite through a community picnic. Look for this year's upcoming events as well as our archive of events through these pages.

ASBC Wine Tasting & Silent Auction

The 5th Annual Wine Tasting & Silent Auction will be held during National Autism Awareness Month (April) on April 18th, 2008 at the Boulder Broker Inn. Centennial Wine & Spirits, 97.3 KBCO and the Boulder Broker Inn are sponsoring this event. Our "Though My Eyes" Art Show featuring the works of our young ASD artists will be on display during this event and throughout the month in various locations in Boulder and Broomfield counties. Our 2007 event raised approximately $8,000 and a report and pictures can be seen at National Autism Awareness Month.

ASBC thanks you for your help!
