Giant Steps Auction 2016

Hello wonderful friends and family!

For the last 2 years, Max has attended Giant Steps, an amazing preschool just for autistic children.  When dealing with Autism, early intervention is very important.  One March 31, Giant Steps is having a charity dinner and auction.

The auction raises funds to pay for field trips, occupational therapy, music programs, classroom supplies, and a bunch of other fantastic stuff.  Our family wants to raise enough money to sponsor a table at the event.  We are organizing a donation team called "Spaceship Max" and we want you to join!  Your donation, combined with the donations of other friends and family, will make a big difference in the lives of some very special kids.

Please help us give back to a school that has changed all of our lives.  Giant Steps has helped us to enter Max's world.

For more information on how to donate go to friendsofgiantsteps.org.  When you make a donation, either by PayPal or by check, be sure to note that you are a part of team "Spaceship Max."  Use the memo line on a check, and to donate online click the donate button on the website.  Then once directed to paypal type a note by clicking on "add special note to the seller" line.

Thank you, from Will and Tiffany Strong

*A special thank you to Bryan Sours Photography for taking the amazing pictures of Max.

Giant Steps Charity Dinner and Auction

Max goes to a wonderful preschool.  I have been so amazed at the progress he has made because of Giant Steps Autism Preschool.  He has the most amazing teacher, aides, and support team.  They go above and beyond the call of teacher.  They are friends, advocates, and support my entire family.
Just yesterday Max's teacher offered to come to our house to help with potty training.  It is gestures like that that make Giant Steps amazing.

Giant Steps is holding a Charity Dinner and Auction to raise money for the classrooms.  It cost over $250,000 dollars to start a new preschool.  There are currently over 130 children on the waiting list for the five classrooms in Utah County.  Each classroom can enroll 10-12 students.  There needs to be more classrooms in Utah available for children on the Autism Spectrum.  Support for the entire family is key, and so is early intervention before a child enters Kindergarten. 

The Charity Dinner and Auction is MARCH 28, 2015.

Recently the Provo Mayor did a blog post on Giant Steps Autism Preschool.

Giant Steps was also on the news promoting the school and the Charity Auction. You can watch the video on the Mayors Blog post or on the Giant Steps Website. 

We need your help.  

If you know of a business, family, or would like to personally make a donation or be a sponsor please either contact me at Tiffstrong707@gmail.com, or follow the link to directly donate on the Giant Steps Website.  Please share this blog post with others if you feel inclined.

And most of all THANK YOU for your love and support.  Max is so lucky to have so many people in his life that love, care, and pray for him on a daily basis.  We are so grateful as a family and feel your love daily.   
 We have entered Max's world 
and it is such a wonderful world to be in!
