Our Most Recent Charity:
This past year, KRHTPA supported AutismUp and Smile Mobile. We managed to raise $45,000 for these two wonderful charities.
AutismUp aspires to provide the best autism support programs in Rochester. Each year, AutismUp supports over 1000 children, but there are many more who need their assistance. Our funds are helping AutismUp move into the Galisano behavioral center. Currently, after a child is diagnosed with Autism, many parents do not know what to do. However, AutismUp reaches out and guides both the children and the parents so the children can live productive lives in the future. AutismUp teaches the children all the necessary skills they need to have jobs. Through their Multi-Sensory Learning Environment, AutismUp also gives the children the chance to make friends, have fun, and be fit.
We also supported Smile Mobile which gives thousands of Rochester kids free cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and other dental restorative services. Inner city Rochester has the highest child poverty rate in New York State, so without Smile Mobile many would not get the dental care that they need.
