Fundraiser for Autistic Children in Waterbury

A few years back I did a Fox Focus on a terrific gymnastics class for special needs kids offered at Dynamite Academy of Gymnastics in Waterbury. The young teachers were so in tune with what the children needed, and helped them progress at their own pace, having a lot of fun in the process. Parents exclaimed at how gymnastics was really making a difference in their child's behavior.

Now in Waterbury, funding for the autistic program in the school system has been cut, so parents are scrambling to put together a fundraiser. If you're interested in enjoying a concert for a good cause, head down to Kennedy High School in Waterbury on Friday, May 15th. The music starts at 7. What a nice way to kick off the weekend and help support the teachers and parents who reach out to autistic children.
