Pirates Cove hosts High Hopes 4-Autism FUNraiser July 26-27

Jeep raffle tickets are no longer on sale online for the 19th Annual High Hopes 4 Autism FUNraiser scheduled July 26-27 at Pirates Cove in Josephine. But day passes for the annual party will be available at the gate for $10 (free for children under 16). Day passes include entry into raffles for High Hopes support gear and gift cards.
The music lineup includes The Cowboy Johnson Trio at 11 a.m. and Outlaw Chrome at 4 p.m. on Saturday, and Andy McDonald & Friends beginning at 11 a.m. on Sunday. The FUNraiser offers food, fun, art and live music on the sandy shores of the laid-back beach restaurant. A silent auction will also be held both days.
Whether you have a ticket in the final 10 or not, an event highlight is the exciting Jeep drawdown on Saturday and Sunday. As fewer balls remain, patrons can buy or sell their tickets, depending on how lucky they feel and how great they see themselves looking in a brand new Jeep.
More than 200 businesses donate services and products to be auctioned. Prizes range from spa gift certificates to movie passes and fishing equipment to artwork. More info: highhopes4aut ism.org or call 251-986-7007.
Last year over 2,000 supporters converged on Pirates Cove to help raise just over $90,000.
High Hopes 4 Autism was founded by Rachael Mueller in 2009 to provide a much needed asset to not only the families affected by Autism but the entire community.
The organization serves children and families impacted by autism spectrum disorders and other developmental delays. They specialize in one on one applied behavior therapy concentrating on language development and social behavior. Each child’s program is based on their individual needs and utilizes scientifically reviewed procedures and programs. Parents are continuously trained based on their child’s individualized and changing needs.
Mueller founded High Hopes after her daughter was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. The school is located on the campus of St. Benedicts Catholic School in Elberta. This partnership enables them to teach their clients social skills in a naturally occurring traditional school environment.
