Stomp The Swamp for Autism!

Posted on by

Members of the CILNCF staff had a blast at UF Center for Autism and Related Disabilities’ Stomp the Swamp for Autism event at the end of March at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium! It was heartwarming to see so many community members and resource organizations come together for such a great cause: promoting health and wellness while raising funds to provide child safety materials and information, employment training for young adults, and social skills groups for children and teens with autism and related disabilities.

This annual event brings together UF students, faculty, staff, and local families to walk the stadium concourse or take on the stairs—all in support of CARD-UF. Dozens of vendors set up booths to share helpful resources, and families enjoyed a wide range of activities for children. While open to everyone, the event holds special meaning for families with loved ones who have special needs—it’s a chance to connect, share, and feel supported by the community.

Stomp the Swamp takes place every year, so be sure to keep an eye out for next year’s event. We’d love to see you there!

They’re standing behind a blue table covered with informational materials and brochures. The table prominently displays the logo and name: “Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida.” The scene is cheerful and welcoming, with the group making peace signs and showcasing community engagement at the Stomp the Swamp for Autism event.
