Congratulations to Tom Allen, the university liaison for AAoM’s Young Professional Board. Tom directed and coordinated the Alpha Sigma Phi Winterfest event last February for his fraternity, raising $40,000 for AAoM to support scholarships to conferences and GPS devices to families with wandering children. He is being honored November 12th, with the Sparky Anderson Youth in Philanthropy award at the National Philanthropy Day celebration. Great job, Tom! The staff, board, and Michigan families living with autism thank you for selfless efforts to raise awareness on the UM college campus and moving the AAoM mission forward!
