The Autism Project at Trumbull-based The Kennedy Center recently was awarded $4,589 for its work.
The money was part of an online competition run by the website Aspergerexperts.com.
Ellen Livingston, autism project manager with The Autism Project at The Kennedy Center, applied.
Livingston highlighted the many groups served and services offered by The Autism Project.
Her main point was that, due to The Kennedy Center”™s fundraising efforts and commitment to families, no family pays full cost for group programs. All group programs are subsidized by 50 percent of the actual cost to run the program.
“The Asperger Experts” opened up the voting to its online community, narrowing down 300 applicants to a pool of five.
“These dollars will greatly benefit many of our new and existing children and families,” the center said in a prepared statement. “Everyone involved with The Autism Project would like to say ”˜thank you”™ to the Asperger Experts and to wish them continued success.”
