Thank You All!
Play a Hand for Hope, Maine’s Autism Ride to Rangeley
The Autism Society of Maine would like to thank all who participated in our 1st Annual Play a Hand for Hope, Maine’s Autism Ride to Rangeley. Unfortunately, there was not a matching hand to win the motorcycle but through your efforts $10,600 was raised for ASM. Your generosity will help families in Maine get the information and support they need about autism.
Special thanks go to Skip Baker who coordinated this event along with Erin Dupree and Tammy Jones from Custom Hawg. There were many volunteers at each of our sites and a huge thank you goes out to all of them. Please take a moment and check out the event pictures in our photo gallery.
