Despite street closures, rain, aqnd audio problems, the "Turn Up 2025!" was another great success with almost 200 enthusiastic supporters attending. It truly was, as promised, a celebration of resilience, advocacy, and the power of communication...honoring the lives and journeys of nonspeaking autistics who are finding their voice and building a future where communication access is a right—not a privilege.
Executive Director Lakshmi Rao Sankar reported on the progress of CrimsonRise to build an organization that shows up for the 50 million nonspeaking autistics worldwide, host committee members were acknowledged, honorees were honored, baskets and 50-50 events were run, music was played, and beer flowed freely. In summary, everyone had a wonderful time while supporting the organization.
Thank you.
