Navah Paskowitz-Asner, Co-Founder of TEAFC, said, "I am thrilled to share the exciting updates from TEAFC: I am so proud to announce the successful completion of our fourth semester of The Academy, our full-day adult program. This achievement marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower individuals with neurodiversity, as we now proudly employ 30% of our staff who are neurodivergent themselves. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support we receive at events like our upcoming 12th Annual Celebrity Poker Tournament. This event serves as a vital fundraiser for our organization, providing the necessary resources to sustain our diverse range of programs. From mental health services for low-income families to camp scholarships and our groundbreaking relationship course, The Dating Spectrum, your continued support ensures that we can continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. We invite you to join us on June 15th!"
