Building Hope One Life At A Time | Team 94

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create a program in our community that provides continuing education for adults with ASD in critical areas such as daily-living, community participation, vocation, leisure and recreation. We strive to provide the most innovative and effective services to ensure that our members are given the opportunity to continue to pursue and work towards a meaningful, productive, fulfilled happy life.

THE CRISIS FOR ADULTS WITH ASD

A child’s 21st birthday is a celebration of the beginning of independent living as an adult. Unfortunately, this is not the case for families of children with ASD. Children with ASD receive services through the public-school system, which are abruptly discontinued after the age of 21. Many adults with ASD have needs that far exceed the resources that are available. There are a limited number of high-quality ABA programs for adults with ASD, and those that are available are at capacity. The quality of life for an adult with ASD should not be limited due to a lack of funding and/or a lack of programs available. Adults with ASD deserve continued support and opportunities to learn important life skills.

OUR GOAL

Our goal was to open our first program site by September, 2020. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic our opening has been delayed. However, we stay committed to our mission of creating a continuing education program for adults with ASD.

Stay tuned for updates and announcements. Thank you for your support. Stay safe and well.

Dear TEAM 94 Family,

As we look back on the past six years, our hearts are filled with overwhelming gratitude for every single one of you. Thanks to our amazing sponsors, dedicated runners, enthusiastic volunteers, and passionate community members, TEAM 94 is continuing to grow and will be a powerful force for making a real difference and a lasting impact in the lives of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder—and we couldn't do any of this without your unwavering support.

For years, you’ve braved the chilly November air to color our community with joy, laughter, and hope. This year, we are thrilled to announce a bright new change!

To bring even more visibility to our mission, we are moving our Annual Color Run to the spring to align directly with Autism Awareness Month.

Please mark your calendars for our new date:

TEAM 94 Annual Color Run

Date: Sunday, April 11th

Time: 9:00 AM

Location: 300 Eagle Rock Avenue, Roseland, NJ

While the date is changing, our time and location will remain the exact same!

This shift marks an exciting new chapter for our organization. Moving our biggest event of the year to April allows us to stand united with the global autism community during a month dedicated entirely to acceptance, inclusion, and celebration.

Every stride you take and every dollar raised directly fuels our programs, helping adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder gain independence, community integration, and the support they deserve. You are the heart of TEAM 94, and this event simply would not be possible without your energy, generosity, and love.

Tie up your running shoes, spread the word to your friends and family, and get ready for our most vibrant run yet. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and continue to BUILD HOPE TOGETHER on April 11th!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Michael and Nicole Sabato
