Thank you for coming to the AckPack Family and Friends page. Today in the U.S. over 250 families will receive the autism diagnosis. Autism doesn’t take a day off and neither should support. I am asking for your support – please donate.
This fundraiser is so important for TACA for two reasons:
1) Families share their stories. They are inspiring!! I hope you get a chance to read them!
2) This campaign greatly helps TACA fund our mission (most of what we do is free to help families.) It is a great way to support during autism action month!
Now over 23 years, I am even more dedicated to TACA because what we do is important. We are the autism community in ACTION. We also believe in our children.
You can help: please share the campaign. Pray for our kids and most of all make a donation. Your donation in honor of Jeff who was once non-verbal from 15 months to after age 6 says you believe.
HOW'S JEFF DOING?
Well amazing.....
You can watch a 2022 video of Jeff here: https://youtu.be/8axhZuUauUE
CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF JEFF AND NEED MORE?
He’s 26 in April!! (WOW!) He is a college graduate (humanities psychology major) and now WORKING! He’s doing incredible. His attitude is the best. He has big dreams: play more Heckle ball, get back to Hawaii, find more laughs, see concerts - specifically The Foo Fighters, Interrupters and Social Distortion again, date, and make the world a better place. In my view he already has. His family is SO PROUD OF HIM!
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE:
TACA provides education, support and hope in a variety of ways. Virtual support and education, conferences, family events, coffee talks, journey guides, website, parent support Facebook group, mentor program, scholarships, and more.
TACA provides education, support and hope to families living with autism so they may have the most meaningful lives possible. We know this to be true because we ARE one of the families helped by TACA. We want more stories like Jeff.
TACA supports over 80,000 members are part of TACA and more than 560 new families find us every month.
Family & Friends share inspiring family stories and helps us fund our programs. Your support WILL make that happen.
We need your help. Please make a donation to my Family & Friends page and help make positive change for families living with autism. Because TACA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, your donation is tax deductible.
Thank you for caring. We appreciate the love and support for all families living with autism, WE ARE TACA!

About this Campaign
Lisa Ackerman
The Autism Community in Action (TACA) provides education, support, and empowerment to families and individuals affected by autism to enrich their lives. Family & Friends is TACA’s annual fundraising campaign to give families a tool to pay it forward and help other families on their autism journey.
The power of Family & Friends is families sharing their stories, the inspiration of their children, and asking the community to support the organization that helps families every day. Over 18 years TACA families have raised more than $2.3 million to help TACA continue to provide resources and support for families living with autism.
During April, TACA is moving the autism community forward through awareness and acceptance to action. Together we can positively impact the health, well-being, and quality of life of individuals with autism.
We need your help. Will you join us and take action by making a contribution in honor of the children and families that are sharing their personal stories and raising funds to help other families? Support a family’s fundraising team. You’ll be helping to change the life of a child, youth, or adult with autism.
