When a father in Fullerton California learned his son was diagnosed with autism, he soon decided he would dedicate his life to the condition. Since then, Fullerton Cares has become ingrained in the community. The organization provides essential funding to the school district for autism-specific and general special needs programs. They also host numerous community events focused on family-friendly entertainment.
What started as the mission of one father has quickly evolved into an essential piece of the community and school district. The organization even looks beyond supporting youth and has programs to help teens and adults transition into independent lives and the working world. They also partner with like-minded organizations everywhere to help spread their message.
