Join Me in Supporting AttachAvi: Making a Difference for the Autism Community

Hi, my name is Rutvika Gajjala, and I am excited to be raising funds for AttachAvi, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising autism awareness and creating meaningful social opportunities for children and young adults on the autism spectrum.

AttachAvi has been an important part of my life and my community. Through their events and programs, they provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals with autism to develop social skills, build friendships, and simply have fun. They also give parents and caregivers much-needed moments of respite, making a difference not just for the participants but for entire families.

Why I’m Fundraising

I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with AttachAvi and seeing firsthand the positive impact their programs have on so many lives. This year, I’m raising funds to help support their upcoming events and initiatives, such as social skills classes, holiday celebrations, and community gatherings. These programs bring joy, connection, and opportunities for growth to individuals with autism—and I want to do my part to ensure they continue.

How You Can Help

Your donation will go directly toward supporting AttachAvi’s mission, including:

• Funding inclusive events like Halloween Trunk or Treat and holiday parties.

• Supporting social skills classes that help children and young adults develop confidence and communication skills.

• Expanding resources and programs that provide a safe and fun environment for individuals on the autism spectrum.

No donation is too small—every dollar makes a difference. Whether it’s $5, $50, or $500, your generosity will help create life-changing opportunities for individuals with autism and their families.

Why This Matters

AttachAvi runs solely on the efforts of volunteers and community donations. They do not receive grant funding, which makes support from people like you essential to keeping their programs alive. Together, we can ensure that more children and young adults have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.

Thank You for Your Support

I’m proud to be a part of this amazing cause, and I hope you’ll join me in making a difference. Thank you for taking the time to learn about AttachAvi and for supporting my fundraiser. Your kindness and generosity mean so much!

Let’s make a difference together!

Warmly,

Rutvika

Hello! My name is Jithya Rudraraju, and I am a dedicated volunteer with AttachAvi Autism Foundation. I help plan and organize events and fundraisers aimed at raising awareness for autism. My journey with the foundation has opened my eyes to the unique strengths and challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum. I’ve had the privilege of participating in multiple community events that celebrate diversity and promote understanding. These experiences have fueled my passion for creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Through my volunteering, I’ve learned the importance of empathy, patience, and the unique strengths that each individual possesses. I believe that by coming together as a community, we can create a more inclusive world for those with autism.

I am raising funds for AttachAvi Autism Foundation to support our ongoing efforts in providing resources, programs, and support for individuals with autism. Your contributions will help us continue our mission of promoting awareness, acceptance, and access to vital services for those affected by autism. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives.

AttachAvi Autism Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to autism awareness and providing children on the autism spectrum with a safe, inclusive platform to celebrate life. Unfortunately, many individuals with autism and their families face societal stigma and isolation, which often limits their opportunities to participate in joyful and social events. In 2012, Anita Sharma, the founder of AttachAvi and a mother of two young adults on the autism spectrum, began this journey to address the lack of inclusive platforms for families like ours. Her goal was to create opportunities where children with autism can showcase their talents and simply enjoy the celebrations that everyone deserves. Over the years, AttachAvi has organized unique events, including the "We've Got Talent Too" Fashion Show, where children with autism take center stage to display their talents. We also host annual celebrations such as holiday parties, Halloween Trunk or Treat, Thanksgiving dinners, and Diwali parties, allowing families to gather in a supportive, stigma-free environment.

I’m asking for your support to help us continue and grow these important programs. Your donations will help us provide more opportunities for these wonderful children and their families, allowing them to enjoy the joy, inclusion, and support they deserve.

Hello Everyone,

As you are all aware, the AttachAvi initiative aims to provide a social platform for children with special needs and help them celebrate life. We have been holding many events for the past 12 years. Last year, we collaborated with the Piscataway Police Benevolent Association (PBA) to make these events more inclusive for our kids and it was a very successful event.

This year, the Piscataway PBA is planning to make the event even bigger, making it one of a kind. With our contributions, we need your support as well.

I am running a fundraiser for a PBA Trunk or Treat to raise funds for this event with the Piscataway Police. Please show your generous support by donating to this event.

Feel free to write your name along with any amount you wish to donate. Remember, no donation is too small!

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you all at Trunk or Treat!

I am Siri Vobilisetty, tenth grader studying in STEM Academy Downingtown PA.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with AttachAvi, an organization that inspires me with its commitment to spreading autism awareness. I admire the dedication and hard work the AttachAvi foundation puts into making a positive impact every day.

Stuti has been involved in the AttachAvi foundation since 2018; she is also one of the board members of the AttachAvi autism foundation. Stuti has been crucial in raising funds and their activities. Her empathy and kind-heartedness made her find unique ways to get them involved in the social activities she organized and built special Programs. She created a cyber library to encourage reading amongst kids. All these needed funding, so she also stepped up to that challenge. She recently volunteered in a minor league cricket tournament. Funds were raised by holding a lemonade stand in the tournament, and these funds will be used for funding various activities at AttachAvi. In the past, she organized a fashion show with her elder sister and used that opportunity to promote awareness by sensitizing people about autism. The pandemic didn’t stop her passion either. She volunteered 100 hours on zoom by spending time with the children, teaching them social skills. Stuti designed the “Each one teach one” program that runs virtually and has high schoolers run zoom one-on-one interactive hours, which includes anything from talking, singing, and reading to meeting in person with kids. Under the youth program at AttachAvi Autism Foundation, She is promoting awareness. She requests the nation's youth to join hands with her to advance this program further and provide a platform to help and create equality for all kids. Stuti currently has a website allshinetogether.org which she uses to raise funds, promote awareness and make a safe platform for parents and children to rely on. Furthermore, she also organized a food drive during the holiday season of 2021 to help the needy and the homeless. Here’s the news article about her works in the community; https://www.dailylocal.com/2021/11/22/downingtown-students-get-legislative-thank-you-for-helping-to-collect-food-for-needy/ The legislative Mr. Dan Williams, personally attended the food drive event and commended Stuti for her efforts. Stuti started a go-fund page with her friends to help the AttachAvi autism foundation this holiday season. Please help Stuti reach her goal!
