Dear friends, family, and community members,
My name is Abby Edwards, I am a sophomore at Marist College studying Elementary/Special Education. My brother Riley is on the autism spectrum and receives services at Anderson Center for Autism where he is continuing his lifelong learning journey. Riley resides in an adult group home and attends a Day Habilitation program during the school week.

Over the past 7 years, together we have raised over $51,000 in honor of my brother Riley, supporting Anderson Center for Autism and promoting Autism Acceptance.
