Big Cheese Pizza fundraiser benefits Autism program
Eastern Washington Autism Spectrum Disorder Association (EWASDA) is selling Big Cheese pizza certificates to raise money for an equipment library for children affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

"Some of the equipment these children can use to communicate and help with sensory integration issues is quite expensive and out of reach for families," said Special Education teacher Kathleen Gilmore who coordinates the district's elementary autism program at Edison. "We hope to provide this equipment for families to use free of charge and if their child outgrows it, it goes back into our library where it can be checked out by another family."

The certificates cost $10 and are good for one large gourmet or specialty pizza. This is an $8 savings! From that sale, EWASDA makes $3 toward our library of equipment, according to Gilmore.

"They make great holiday gifts for the paper deliverer, postal carrier, co-workers, or busy families," Gilmore said.

To purchase these certificates, please contact Kathleen Gilmore at: kgilmore@wwps.org.
