SPARC is a center that serves both individuals on the autism spectrum as well as those with a variety of behavioral concerns through evidence-based services. As a nonprofit clinic, SPARC relies on donations to fund about 1/3 of their necessary expenses annually. Alaska Bound for Autism aims to assist in raising these necessary funds in order to offset the costs for families utilizing SPARC's services. Additionally, we aim to better educate ourselves about autism and thus share our knowledge in order to allow the community to understand autism beyond the recognition of bumper stickers.

05/31/2013 Jennifer A. Romano Beef & Beer Benefit – Fight Like A Girl!

Jennifer A. Romano Beef & Beer Benefit – Fight Like A Girl!

On January 10, 2012, at such a young age, Jen’s whole life was turned upside down when she went to the Bryn Mawr Hospital ER for bad lower back and stomach pains. After much testing followed by surgery, she was told that she had stage 3C Ovarian Cancer and she had to have her uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes removed. She then was transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital where she underwent another surgery to remove a small part of her liver and began the “debulking” process. She is still being treated there today as she undergoes her second round of Chemotherapy.

With their current and future bills climbing, this family is in much need of financial support. We really hope this benefit will greatly help them and eliminate some of their worries. This truly awful disease has robbed this special family of so much and your contribution will be much appreciated by the Romano family, as well as everyone involved.
