Fundraiser for ASN. 16 September 2011 @ 10:01 pm.
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 »

AMC Entertainment and the Autism Society have teamed up to bring families affected by autism and other disabilities a special opportunity to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment on a monthly basis with the “Sensory Friendly Films” program.
The movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up, the sound turned down, and AMC’s “Silence is Golden®” policy will not be enforced. There will be no previews before the film so plan to arrive early as the movie will start at 10am. AMC is also being very generous and letting our families bring in their own GFCF snacks. Regular concessions are also available to purchase.
Learn more about AMC’s Sensory Friendly movies here.
