Mission Statement

ADK Charities, Inc. (dba Rolling For Autism) is the only foundation in the United States that targets high school students, college students, and young adults with the goal of encouraging them to learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorders.  As the number of individuals impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders steadily increases, a greater awareness from all members of society becomes increasingly more important.  Through special events, fundraisers, and educational outreach programs, our mission is to reach as many students as possible and to educate them with a greater awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Our ultimate goal is to inform and involve today's high school and college students - the teachers, scientists, doctors, politicians, and parents of tomorrow - so that they will be better educated regarding Autism Spectrum Disorders and the challenges they present to a large and growing population within our society.

Our Goals

1. To increase Autism Awareness to students and young adults across the country through active participation in events.
   
   
2. To raise money for programs that will benefit those individuals impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders.
   
   
3. To inspire students to pursue careers that will help create a better life for those impacted by Autism.
   
   
4. To educate students and young adults today, so that the society of tomorrow will be better educated regarding the challenges Autism Spectrum Disorders present to a growing percentage of our society.
