Our group Autism in Long Beach would like to publicly thank all the Residents in Long Beach that helped to make our first Annual Autism Angel Program a huge success.

Our community came together and adopted individual children and their siblings on wishlists and bought them amazing gifts. Kids received Ninendo 3DS, Bikes, Skateboards, Scooters, Dolls, Trucks, Gift Certificates etc. Residents dropped off gifts to toy boxes located at Hot Java Coffee House on Broadway, Hudavi Wellness Spa on 7th, and Sweat Shop elite personal training on Industry.

Thanks to the Toy Donation Boxes there was enough for Every Child to receive a toy!

Thursday, December 22nd, we had an Angel Celebration. 
Our Angels had an opportunity to meet their Lil' Angels they adopted.

We had food, Santa, a Clown who made balloon Animals, and approximately 80 Children and their Siblings.

 Mike Donelon of ASK Long Beach contacted Tony Hawk and Etnies.

He gave boys Signed Autographs with their names on them by Tony Hawk, a Tony Hawk Skateboard, and a pair of Etnies Shoes and Tshirts!

Rebecca and Gustavo from ASK Long Beach came through and met the kids. 

 


LB Skate owners Tim Scanlan III and his beautiful wife Carrie Scanlan came with local Skater Mikey Haywood and decked the halls LB Skate style.....

LB Skate brought skateboards for the kids!


Fresh Clothing came through and brought swag for the kids... 

Alpha Zeta Chapter of Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha, Inc

at CSUDH adopted Angels!








We had volunteers and Angels of all sizes. We had Teens from Millikan and Wilson. Also, kids from local Elementary Schools.

There was enough toys to even give to our mini Volunteers. Our goal for Inclusion in Long Beach is on its way! How beautiful is it to see Volunteers as young as Five years old?  The littlest one on the left has Volunteered at over eight events and booths.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM AUTISM IN LONG BEACH....

HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US NEXT YEAR!
