SPONSOR AN EVENT

Help support families with Autism by sponsoring one of our yearly events.

Annual Autism Walk

This family friendly event is held annually in April during National Autism Awareness month to promote autism awareness and acceptance in the Coachella Valley. About 1 percent of the world’s population has autism spectrum disorder. In fact, autism affects 1 out of 68 children and is the fastest-growing developmental disability. The event draws 500+ families and features face painting, fun activities and games, music, refreshments, community resources and exhibitions, silent auction and raffle, prizes, and much more! All proceeds will help the Coachella Valley Autism Society of America to continue to provide programs and services to children and individuals on the autism spectrum in the Coachella Valley.

Halloween Spooktacular

The Annual Halloween Spooktacular brings the special needs community together for a sensory sensitive Halloween experience in the desert. Families enjoy a fun-filled day with inflatable rides, carnival games, face painting, balloon twisting, music, food, raffles, costume contest, trick-or-treating, a pumpkin patch, and much more! Admission to the event is FREE (additional charges may apply for some activities). Halloween can be a particular challenging time for families affected by Autism and other disabilities. Sensory and social issues (lighting, sounds, costumes, and suitable social cues) can hinder families from participating in and enjoying in regular Halloween community activities and events. The CVASA/Easy Speech Halloween Spooktacular is a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for families who have children with special needs.

Annual Holiday Party

Help CVASA bring joy to our families during the holiday season. At our annual event, families will enjoy food, holiday music, crafts, face painting/other activities, and even a visit from Santa himself! We are currently seeking in-kind donations to make this event memorable for the families. Any donation, large or small, including merchandise/products, services, gift cards, etc. so that we may have gifts for our children and families at the Holiday party would be greatly appreciated.
