Ride 4 Autism
The Ride 4 Autism was the AJ Foundation’s largest and most impactful annual fundraising event, bringing the community together each September for a ride through the scenic rolling hills of Upper and Lower Makefield Townships in Pennsylvania.
Over its history, Ride 4 Autism raised an extraordinary $1,460,800, making a lasting difference in the lives of children and adults with autism supported by The AJ Foundation and served by Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC). Funds raised helped expand and strengthen individualized education, behavioral supports, and life skills programming that promote independence, communication, and meaningful community participation.
What began as a community ride for all ages and abilities grew into a signature event that united riders through a shared mission, collaboration, and ambitious fundraising goals, becoming more than a cycling event, but a celebration of commitment, friendly competition, and collective impact.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who rode, donated, sponsored and supported the AJF Ride 4 Autism over the years and helped make its legacy of impact possible.

Texas Hold’em
The AJ Foundation’s Annual Texas Hold’em event has been a defining tradition from 2004 through 2022, bringing supporters together each year in a shared commitment to children and adults with autism supported by The AJ Foundation and served by Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC).
Over the years, this signature event has raised an extraordinary $456,750, helping make CLC’s growth and expansion into a larger facility possible and allowing us to serve more students than ever before. Each tournament has contributed to strengthening and expanding our programs, enabling us to welcome additional learners while continuing to build communication, independence, social skills, and vocational readiness for the individuals and families we serve.
What began as a single fundraiser has become a lasting driver of progress—helping transform both the physical space and the scope of services available to the individuals and families we serve. Each year’s support has played a role in building a stronger foundation for growth, ensuring more students can access the high-quality, individualized care they need to thrive.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported this event over the years and helped make this event a powerful force in expanding opportunity at CLC.

Casino Night
Casino Night was one of CLC’s most cherished traditions, running from 2003 through 2025—an evening filled with energy, generosity, and community spirit. Families donated incredible raffle prizes, guests returned year after year, and together they created an event that truly brought people together in support of children and adults with autism.
Over the years, this event raised $1,254,350, helping make individualized education and one-to-one support possible at The AJ Foundation and Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC). That support provided full-day, year-round instruction for students ages 2 years, 8 months through 21 years, delivered through a one-to-one student-to-instructor model, individualized programming, and instruction that extends into homes and community settings to build real-world independence.
It also helped sustain CLC’s Adult Life Skills Program, which is especially meaningful given that services for individuals with autism often end at age 18. This program continues support beyond graduation through vocational training, community experiences, and opportunities that build lasting independence in adulthood.
Casino Night was more than a fundraiser—it was a night where community became care, and generosity directly shaped each student’s growth and future.

AMRAP 4 Autism
AMRAP 4 Autism was a high-energy fundraising event that brought together the CrossFit community to rally around and support children and adults with autism supported by The AJ Foundation.
Over its run, the event raised $32,000, helping fund individualized education and behavioral services for individuals with autism and their families.
More than a fitness-driven event, it reflected the power of community coming together to make a meaningful difference.
