From Greystone Programs Tracilyn Vaticano,
Assistant Executive Director and Samara Enders, Director of Philanthropy, report
to Radio Rotary about the charity’s annual Leap for Autism and other aspects of
Greystone’s work with autistic individuals. Since 1979 Greystone Programs has provided
essential community-based and residential services and life-enriching
opportunities to more than 600 children, adults, and families who deal with
autism in Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster counties of New York State. One annual
fundraiser is a tandem skydive at Skydive the Ranch in Garrison, NY, an event
that brings 60 to 70 donors along with Greystone staff to parachute from
airplanes in support of Greystone Programs—the seventh annual Leap for Autism.
In a tandem skydive and trained diver manages the parachute for both divers,
who descend connected from a single chute.
