Two annual events are aimed at supporting individuals with autism on Martha’s Vineyard, and both rely on the generous donations of island businesses.
- The Oak Bluffs Bluewater Classic (obbclassic.com) is an annual, world-class fishing tournament that donates 10% of their proceeds to the Island Autism Group. Over the past four years, they have given over $15,000 to support IAG.
- The Island Autism Group’s Annual Tea & Auction is at the Daniel Fisher House on Main Street in Edgartown. The event includes music, wine and hor d’oeuvres!
We rely on the generosity of local businesses to make these events a success. We would love to include a donation from you in our silent auction! In return, we will be glad to include your business name and website in promoting the events.
Many families rely on the Island Autism Group (IAG) for funds to provide extracurricular services for their kids with autism, from drumming to therapeutic horseback riding to iPads and summer camp scholarships.
Donations may be sent to Island Autism Group, P.O. Box 2786, Edgartown, MA 02539, or to Marcy Bettencourt, Kate DeVane, or Cynthia McGrath. If you are planning to donate, please let us know:
