Randolph, MA – May Institute has been named by Hollywood East Connection as the beneficiary of a unique fundraising campaign to support the Institute’s comprehensive services and programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

May Institute is a national nonprofit organization that serves children and adults with ASD and other developmental disabilities, as well as with brain injury, mental illness, and behavioral healthcare needs.

Christine Tello, Career Development Coach and Founder of Hollywood East Connection, says, “After learning about the staggering numbers of individuals with autism, I was inspired to research programs that I felt were making a real difference in the lives of children with autism. What attracted my organization to May Institute was its tremendous scope of services and unparalleled commitment to professional development.”

“We are honored and proud to be named the recipient of this generous donation opportunity by Hollywood East Connection,” says Heidi Howard, Chief of Business Development for May Institute. “The journey for children with disabilities is one filled with many challenges.
