AEIOU Foundation and the Dolphins NRL club forged a new alliance this year, with AEIOU named an official 2024 charity partner.
The collaboration brings AEIOU valuable opportunities to raise funds for our specialist programs and heighten awareness for our mission to ensure autistic children are living their best lives.
The first fundraising opportunity kicked off during Autism Awareness Month on Saturday April 6, with AEIOU the beneficiary of a 50-50 Charity Raffle at Suncorp Stadium where the Dolphins took on Wests Tigers. With 40 eager volunteers supporting the cause, AEIOU sold more than $22,000 in raffle tickets, with one lucky winner taking home half this prize pool, and AEIOU receiving the other half.
CEO Alan Smith said all funds raised directly support AEIOU’s mission of enhancing the lives of children with autism through evidence-based early intervention programs and practical support.
“We’re proud to be partnering with the Dolphins this season and I know our community has their #PhinsUp in support,” Mr Smith said. “The Dolphins have given once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for AEIOU students to meet players, attend games and even run on the field at the start of a match. This generous partnership enables participation in community, support for children and families navigating the early years of a child’s development, and raises vital funds.”
