Join us on March 6, 2010 for the Fourth Annual Puzzlethon™!
 

What is a Puzzlethon™? It is a unique fundraiser created especially for the Connecticut autism community. It is like a walk-a-thon, except participants raise money by doing puzzles.

Why puzzles? The puzzle piece is the symbol of the autism community. Many individuals with autism are good at puzzles. People with autism can enjoy meaningful social interactions doing puzzles with non-autistic individuals.
