At Queen City Ford, we believe that the strength of our business is directly tied to the strength of our community. That’s why one of our fundamental values has always been to give back to the places where we live, work, and grow. To embody this commitment, we launched the KindnessProject, which brings together our local friends, customers, employees, and various organizations to support our community in meaningful ways.
As we continue the KindnessProject, we’re excited to announce our major sponsorship of the EmPath For Autism foundation for the second consecutive year! Building on the success of last year’s “Circus Bizurcus” event, this year’s theme, “Circus Bizircus Lunar, a Party Beyond” promises to take the excitement to a whole new level.
The EmPath Autism Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides vital resources to families in the Greater Cincinnati area affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Earlier this year, we partnered with ABC Pediatric Therapy for a Sensory Toy Drive. The response was overwhelming—our Queen City Ford locations were brimming with carloads of sensory toys, all of which will support children with Autism Spectrum Disorder throughout the Greater Cincinnati area.
ABC Pediatric also shares valuable educational content on a wide range of Autism-related topics. One of their standout blog posts is titled, “Diagnosis and Early Intervention in Autism.” Be sure to check out their full blog for more insights.
Last year, EmPath’s fundraiser was a tremendous success, raising $67,000 for The Kelly O’Leary Center for Autism at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. These funds are directly supporting Project Echo, an initiative designed to extend autism diagnosis and treatment to rural communities around Cincinnati. Many of these areas are underserved, making it challenging for families to access necessary care. Project Echo aims to bring that care closer to home, empowering children with Autism Spectrum Disorder to thrive. With the right resources, these children can turn their ASD into a unique strength, greatly enhancing their families’ daily lives.
This year, Circus Bizircus Lunar aims to exceed last year’s achievements, and we’re committed to spreading the word to ensure it does. Mark your calendars for September 21, 2024, and join us at the Madison Theater for an unforgettable experience. For tickets or more information, CLICK HERE.
