about action for autism
AFA helps families attain the care, treatment, and educational support they may not otherwise be able to receive. Funds assist with cost of schooling, physical, occupational, and speech therapies; provide care and support for children and families; help parents learn how to better support and teach their child; and also help families attain other services specific to the needs of their child.

about Autism Speaks
Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005. Since then, they have grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.

about Touchpoint
TouchPoint Autism Services was founded in 1971. They provide training for professionals and for parents and families with children on the autism spectrum. In addition, their efforts include residential services, employment support services, family support, recreational programs and respite care. They annually serve more than 2,700 people with autism spectrum disorders and their families.

Since our inception, we have carried out our mission through a flagship “Bags” Tournament each Labor Day weekend. Through that event we have raised almost $100,000 for Autism Speaks and Action for Autism. This year, we are again partnered with the Buzz Westfall Charitable Foundation and will pass on all proceeds to three autism charities who align with our mission - Touchpoint Autism Services, Autism Speaks and Action for Autism.
