MORE ABOUT THE DANCE A THON!
The Elija Foundation's " Dance a thon" , is a three-hour fun filled evening dance marathon!

It is a celebration in honor of the siblings and other community youth who living, playing or touched by individuals with autism. The brother’s, sister’s and friends of those with autism, play such a critical role in the lives of those affected by this lifelong disorder. This event is in effort to support the social and emotional needs of the siblings and to support the efforts of other community youth , while providing them with a fund filled night of music, dancing and excitement, while they help raise money for  Elija’s Autism "Family Support" Fund. 

 EVERYONE IS WELCOMED TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE! DANCE TO ALL YOUR FAVORITE HOLIDAY TUNES
 
With autism at an alarming 1 in 91, and the profound impact autism has on a family unit,  your support in this event will help The Elija Foundation continue to provide free parent trainings, advocacy, support and family friendly recreational events. This will no doubt relieve some of the family issues that are prevalent, and give access to children with autism and their families to these much needed services. Our goal is for all individuals with autism and their family members, to have equal opportunity to receive services that can improve their quality of life.
