Autism Cares Foundation Chosen Bucks Happening Best of Bucks

Caring Local Non-Profit Will Hold Spring Gala & Auction to Improve the Lives of Children and Adults with Autism

It is with great excitement and deep appreciation that Autism Cares Foundation announces that the local non-profit has been named as Bucks Happening Best of Bucks, and that Linda Kuepper, Co-Founder and CEO, has been named as Bucks Happening Best of Bucks Volunteer.

The Autism Cares Foundation gives heart-felt thanks to the families, friends, volunteers, and others in the community who voted for the organization, because this outpouring of support means the world to everyone who has worked so hard during the past eight years to improve the lives of individuals with autism.

“We are truly honored to be a part of this great community, and we know that together we can continue to spread our message of love and acceptance,” said Linda Kuepper. “We also know that each of us can make a difference in the lives of children, teens, and adults with autism, and other special needs, and their families!”

The Bucks Happening List is considered to be the most popular people’s choice competition in Bucks County. More than 150,000 people voted last year to determine the best and most happening people, places, businesses, and events in Bucks County. The voting took place from January, 23 to March 3.

“We are extremely grateful to be recognized for the work we are doing in the community for individuals with autism, and other special needs,” Co-Founder and President Frank Kuepper said. “We are thrilled that our families, friends, and supporters voted for the Autism Cares Foundation as their charity, and for my dedicated wife, Linda, as their volunteer.”

“We share these awards,” said Linda Kuepper, “with all of our Autism Cares Foundation families and volunteers who have touched our lives and who continue to give us inspiration and encouragement with our vision, mission and values.”

This is taking place at an extremely important time in the evolution of Autism Cares Foundation; which has provided more than 1,000 free events, social programs, and life enrichment opportunities for individuals with autism, and their family members, during the past 8 years.

Autism Cares Foundation is getting ready for one of its major fundraisers of the year, the 8th Annual Spring Gala & Auction, at Spring Mill Manor in Ivyland, PA.

At the 2017 Gala, several hundred guests will enjoy an elegant 5-STAR event, which includes a VIP reception, silent and live auctions, sit-down dinner, dancing, and mingling with dignitaries and other special guests. Gala tickets are still available.

The Master of Ceremonies is Emmy-Award-winning CBS3 Anchor Jim Donovan, who supports the Autism Cares Foundation’s mission to enrich the lives of all individuals with autism, and other special needs.

“I was thrilled to be invited to emcee the Autism Cares Foundation Gala for a second year in a row,” Donovan recently said. “This organization has truly touched my heart, going above and beyond in their ability to provide enriching life experiences for children with autism.”

“The support that The Autism Cares Foundation offers to children and young adults with autism in our area is unmatched,” said Donovan. “The amount of events they host to enrich the lives of these families has always impressed me, and I’m thrilled that I can take part in their annual Gala as the emcee.”
