Why Sponsor AuSM Community Events?

AuSM’s community events bring autistic individuals, families, caregivers, and community partners together for connection, play, and support.

Events like Family Fun Day and the AuSM Family Picnic offer something rare and powerful:
real, in-person relationship-building with the people you serve.

With a resource table and live interaction, these sponsorships create:

  • High trust and visibility

  • Meaningful conversations

  • Lasting community relationships

If your organization values connection over impressions, this is where your sponsorship shines.


What Makes These Events Different

AuSM community events are:

  • Family-centered and welcoming

  • Sensory-aware and inclusive

  • Designed for relaxed, authentic interaction

  • Focused on building trust—not sales pressure

Sponsors are invited to meet community members where they are, share resources, and be part of an affirming space.
