The Autism Society of Nebraska is thrilled to have been chosen by Miracle Photography as the recipient of their “Cuties For A Cause” fundraiser! Miracle Photography will be taking photographs of visitors at Roca Farms (near Lincoln) this fall and using the adorable photos to create a calendar. Then all of the proceeds from the “Cuties for a Cause” calendar are being donated to the Autism Society of Nebraska!
Thank you Miracle Photography by ShariLynn!
Every October thousands of fun-seekers journey to the pumpkin patch near Roca, Nebraska to pick their own pumpkins, go on hay rack rides, experience the thrill of a haunted house and explore the surrounding haunted woods. For many it has become a fall tradition.
This fall, Miracle Photography by ShariLynn is partnering with Roca Farms to help families preserve these memories for a lifetime. Families can arrange to have a professional photographer meet them at the pumpkin patch to capture those precious moments of family fun. Best of all, the family will come away with fantastic keepsakes that will include everyone in the family! Inevitably someone is always missing from family photos because someone has to take the picture! That will not be the case this year! Read the rest of this entry »

And our Friends of Autism…
We are continually amazed by the UNO National Student Speech Language Hearing Asociation (NSSLHA) group. They help our Omaha support group at their monthly support group (actually … whenever we ask) and they just shared with the Autism Society a video that they made at their fundrasier last week. We just can’t express …how amazing it feels to see these college students so connected to our kids. Together We Danced…and Together We ARE making an amazing future for so many kids! Thank you to these amazing college student/upcoming educational professionals!
