HER Charity Spotlight

CHARITY SPOTLIGHT

April is National Autism Awareness Month. This month Her magazine is showcasing the local organization Aces for Autism. One in 58 individuals in North Carolina is affected by autism.

aces for Autism, 925 Conference Drive, is a not-for-profit treatment and educational center dedicated to empowering families and individuals impacted by autism to experience success from diagnosis through adulthood. In the fall of 2018, Aces for Autism purchased 23.83 acres on Worthington Road in Winterville. Plans are underway for the Ron and Rose Bowen Family Autism Campus, which will provide treatment, care, educational and recreational space for children and families affected by autism.

Aces’ goal is to provide services that allow individuals and families served to experience God’s love and purpose for their lives. Foundations of their organization are: integrity, hope, trust, respect, advocacy, compassion, faith in God, and Christian values. Aces has an “it takes a village” approach to supporting the success of organizations that provide treatment for children with autism.
