We offer yoga, art, music, dance, fitness, social programs and healthy cooking sessions at our “Clark Gillies Center for All” in Huntington Station, NY and across Long Island with partner agencies like JCC, AHRC, etc. We also host free to attend events like our “Holiday Hop with Pop”, tickets to sporting events, museum trips and more. All ages and abilities are welcome and no one is ever turned away based on an inability to pay. Today we service over 1000 individuals annually. Visit www.popearth.org for more info.
Autism Cooks Honorees 2025: Rewired For Autism brings together like-minded professionals within the New York Real Estate, Construction and Design communities. Our non-profit organization seeks to provide meaningful business development opportunities for its members and guests while raising awareness and funding for children and families affected by autism. Through our collaborative efforts, we raise funds for scholarships, organize outings and events for autistic children and their families, and have provided technology for school autism programs. Since our founding in 2008, Rewired became the largest fundraiser for the Nassau-Suffolk Autism Society of America, reaching a milestone of over $1M raised for NSASA in 2021. Although we still support them, they are flourishing and we have the opportunity to help other grass-root organizations prosper as well. Thanks to our amazing sponsors and supporters who are essential to the success of our annual April fundraising event and August golf outing, we are able to continuously support multiple organizations and families throughout the year.
