A special note of thanks to all the TACA Cash Sponsors and In-Kind donors. The 2nd annual TACA Picnic was a great success due to their kind support.
The TACA picnic held on September 25, 2005 brought together over 1,000 attendees, 250 families, and 20 vendors in one place for a day of family fun and support.
TACA was able to raise almost $46,000 for our mission and goals in supporting families affected by autism. We also were able to provide a safe and fun day for families.
Many families told me that the picnic day was one of the only outings they could do as a family this year. They felt safe, they did not have scrutinizing eyes of strangers due to their child's behavior and had fun as a family.
We ask our families to support these kind vendors who support TACA. Below is a listing of all sponsors with cash donations or over $1,000 + in-kind donations.
