Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation - Angels for Autism

Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation - Angels for Autism “Angels For Autism” offers hope to families with autistic children to achieve their individual potential for a happy, healthy, and productive life.

Autism is a developmental disability typically appearing in children by age three. It often interferes with their ability to communicate, socialize, play and relate to the world around them. Autism and its behaviors have been estimated to occur in as many as 2 - 6 in 1,000 individuals making it the fastest growing disability in America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2001). It is incre

asing at an alarming rate of 10 - 17% a year and there is presently no known cause or cure. Early detection and prompt treatment can enable children across the entire autism spectrum to assume meaningful and productive lives. The Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation is committed to providing the autistic community with the necessary research and educational opportunities needed to advance their lives. Please help us in pursuit of Jack's dream.

After careful consideration and planning, we have made the unfortunate decision to once again postpone our March Dinner Dance due to the unprecedented rise in Omicron cases. The truth is that our most important attendees of this event, are also our most vulnerable, and would not be able to attend. Our primary mission focuses on inclusion and advancement of the autistic community, and we just cannot move forward knowing that our loved ones are at risk – including you. It would be difficult for many of us to plan at this point in time and we understand individual apprehension as to what the future will hold. We are disappointed, yet hopeful, that we can continue our October 2022 timeline of gathering together as friends and truly share good times and real-life hugs!

It is worth noting that last year, despite our postponement, the Foundation awarded $85,000 in grants to deserving organizations thanks to your support! This year, we are in the middle of grant discussions and will continue our commitment to assist those organizations that can benefit from funding. Although we are not gathering in person – your good work goes on!

We cannot thank you enough for your support and understanding in making this difficult decision. The Irish 🍀Coffee mugs that had been ordered for our St. Patrick’s Day event will hopefully be filled to the brim by the time we meet again! Please continue to be safe and we look forward to seeing you this Fall. ❤️

Thinking of each of you today ❤️💙🤍

This morning began with an email through our website from a volunteer at the 1995 Oklahoma City Murray bombing who met Jack while she was serving meals to rescue workers. She was a 17 year old girl and one evening Jack sat with her and helped her with her homework and spent some time talking with her.

25 years later she still remembers Jack and the kind and loving person he was. It is a beautiful reminder that every interaction we have is an opportunity to make an impact. Jack was so good at that.

We will never forget you Jack. ❤️
