ACEing Autism Dallas Racquet Run 2022
ACEing Autism Dallas, the nation’s largest tennis program for autistic individuals, is a nonprofit organization (501c3) that provides weekly tennis lessons to autistic children and adults. Each student works one-on-one with 1-2 volunteer instructors. The program leverages the game of tennis to improve gross and small-motor skills, hand-eye coordination, communications, social skills, and self-esteem. The program also provides students an opportunity to compete in tennis tournaments including the Texas State Special Olympics.
The program serves more than 75 students each week and is steadily growing. Despite efforts to keep tuition low, many of the families simply cannot afford it. The average financial burden of treatment for autism runs $40,000 to $80,000 per year, leaving little money for much else.
Help raise awareness for ACEing Autism and generate funds to support our local scholarship fund, provide tennis equipment, and enable our athletes to participate in various tennis events at the local and state level.
