Join us in celebrating Autism Acceptance throughout the month of April

April is Autism Acceptance Month

You can show your support by spreading awareness and lighting the community up blue!

Wear Blue

Ontario ARC staff will help spread awareness and encourage acceptance by wearing blue and dressing down on Wednesdays in April.

Light it Up Blue

Beginning April 2nd, be on the lookout for blue lights as Ontario ARC and local area organizations partner to Light It Up Blue for Autism Acceptance Month. Blue lights will light up the shops on Main Street in Canandaigua, local YMCAs, and Cornell Cooperative Extension in Canandaigua throughout the month of April.

You can join us in lighting our community up blue all month long! Simply purchase a blue light bulb or string lights for your front porch or light. Encourage your family and friends to light it up blue, too!
