Tuesday, 13 October 2009 18:24 | Written by Project Independence |
Lafayette, Louisiana to Natchez, MississippiParticipation: Any street-legal vehicle can participate, as well as any make and model of motorcycle.
Please join us for our 7th annual Ride for Autism. The ride is an overnight motorcycle poker run that strives to increase public awareness about the mysterious affliction that is autism, and raises money to help improve the lives of those living with autism. We are actively soliciting donations to help underwrite the 2010 ride, and want to emphasize that all proceeds(every single penny) goes to help those with autism; Project Independence is staffed entirely by volunteers. The entire proceeds from the 2009 ride were donated to St. Mary’s School in Alexandria, currently 70% of the residents are diagnosed with autism. This donation was an effort to offset cuts made by the State of Louisiana. Several changes will be made for the 2010 ride, one major change: Being that two (2) separate poker hands will be judged and prizes awarded, one in Natchez on Saturday night and one in Lafayette at the return destination. An individual choosing to play both hands can double his chances at winning. CLICK HERE and join our website to receive email updates with more event details. All you riders begin making plans to participate! If you think the 2009 ride rocked, we promise that 2010 will be even better!  Let the bids begin………
Opening Bid: $300You can help Project Independence by bidding on this Guitar!We will keep this going until April 24, 2010

Autism Awareness Day At Gulf Island Waterpark
| Project Independence Events |
On July 9, 2009, Project Independence partnered with Gulf Island Waterpark in Gulfport, Ms.to offer
a day of fun for families along the Gulf Coast who are caring for a family member diagnosed with autism.
This event provided an opportunity for 47 individuals with autism and their families to enjoy the beautiful
park and interact with others who share the same experiences. Often, due to unexpected behaviors in social settings,
families and their autistic kids will choose to stay isolated at home instead of attempting to try something new with their
loved ones. Not only did parents get a much needed break they also connected with parents,therapists and counselors.
A special thanks goes out to Gulf Island Waterpark who welcomed our group with open arms. We look forward
to next year.
