Help Chad Get to His Autism on the Seas Cruises!

Hi friends,

This summer, I have the incredible opportunity to volunteer on three Autism on the Seas (AotS) cruises — a program that’s close to my heart.

Two of these cruises set sail in June out of Bayonne, NJ, and the third is a dream come true: an Alaskan cruise in July. This Alaskan adventure was originally planned years ago but was canceled due to COVID — now it's finally happening, and I couldn’t be more excited!

I volunteer with Autism on the Seas, an amazing organization that provides staff-assisted cruises for individuals with special needs of all ages. AotS creates safe, supportive, and joy-filled vacations by offering:

Private, sensory-friendly activities

Respite care throughout the cruise (1–3 hours at a time)

Reserved seating for shows and meals

Expedited boarding and disembarkation

Priority access and support at many ship venues

And so much more!

This experience allows families — and adults — to truly relax and enjoy time together, knowing their loved ones are in compassionate, capable hands.

While I’m thrilled to serve on these life-changing trips, I could use a little help getting there. The biggest expense for me is airfare to and from the cruise ports, especially with three separate trips in just two months.

If you're able to contribute, no matter how small, your support would go directly toward helping me cover travel costs so I can be there for the families who need us most. Your generosity will help me keep showing up for the incredible individuals we serve.

Thank you so much for your support — and for believing in this mission.

– Chad
