A.C. Moore crafting a better world for kids with autism

Easter Seals' Katy Neas with David Ableman, A.C. Moore’s Executive Vice President for Marketing and Merchandising, and clients from Easter Seals New Jersey and Easter Seals Southeast Pennsylvania.What a great day in New Jersey! I was recently able to say thank you in person to the good people at A.C. Moore Arts and Crafts for raising $170,000 for Easter Seals’ autism services. A.C. Moore’s efforts with Easter Seals are part of their Crafting a Better World initiative. I love these guys (and gals)!

The most amazing part was being able to see that our saying THANK YOU mattered to the A.C. Moore staff. We were so jazzed that they beat last year’s tally and are excited to make next year’s efforts even grander. All the funds that were raised go back into the community for direct services. That’s what we do.

As the economy continues to struggle, many of our families are facing tough choices, and whether or not they can pay for all the services their child with autism needs shouldn’t have to be one of them. Thanks to A.C. Moore, we will be able to help more families support the growth and development of their kids with autism.

OK, so I might have been a little crafty in my youth. My mom taught me how to sew, do needle point and knit. I have lost most of these skills as an adult. But, being in the AC Moore store this week made me want to learn something new. I’ll definitely be heading to my local A.C. Moore store this weekend.
