On August 17 2025, members of AYLUS collaborated with StarryBridges of BFB from Buffalo and NorthStar from Toronto, Canada for a rowing event. This event was created to promote autism awareness in the WNY area, we invited local and nearby autism groups and related organizations to share their experiences and insights on enhancing mental and physical health. Volunteers worked to set up tables, decorate the site, greet guests, and looked after the young children. They also helped clean up trash to protect the environment and provided comfort and companionship to children who were experiencing emotional moments. This event lasted from 10:30AM to 4:00PM at Beaver Island State Park.
Volunteers:
3 hours: Grace Wang, Owen Zhu, Ellie Zhu
