‘Autism in Action’ to host Navarro College Art Day
The Texas State Technical College Waco Student Government Association’s program “Autism in Action” will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Navarro College in Corsicana, hosted by both TSTC and Navarro College’s SGAs.
“Autism in Action” is a program promoting autism awareness. Started by the SGA of TSTC Waco, its focus is on helping autistic children in Region 12’s educational service area create original artwork, which will be auctioned to raise money for local and national autism awareness organizations.
At the event, individuals diagnosed with autism will be provided an 11-by-14-inch canvas to paint. Artwork will be auctioned in April to help raise money to benefit the local and national autism organizations and to provide scholarships to graduating students transitioning to college.
In addition, parents, friends and supporters can purchase puzzle pieces, the symbol of autism, to paint along with the “Autism in Action” participants. The event will be free and open to the public. Families and autism awareness supporters are encouraged to attend this event to support area autistic individuals.
For more information, contact SGA president Charity Wilson at (254) 867-2079 or by e-mail at sg.president@tstc.edu. Also, visit www.waco.tstc.edu/autism for more on Autism in Action.
