We are so appreciative of all the amazing things The Eagles Autism Foundation is doing for the Autism community and we are so proud to support and be a part of that.

Team Dommie is inspired by our beautiful, smart, sweet, and sassy daughter, Dominique. She was diagnosed with Autism at 2 years old and an extremely rare genetic disorder called Bainbridge-Ropers Syndrome at 10. She was the 8th one WORLDWIDE medically diagnosed with this condition, right here at CHOP. Through research done at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the ASXL3 gene mutation has been linked to Autism. Grants for that and many other research projects are funded, in part, by The Eagles Autism Foundation and funds raised through the Eagles Autism Challenge. So, we have personally gotten to see just how important their efforts are for our daughter’s future.

Our team’s mission is to promote inclusion. All day, every day, everywhere! Dominique is non-verbal and communicates using an iPad. We are her advocates, and we want to make sure she is not only seen, but heard. We want to teach people the importance of being patient, kind and accepting so Dominique can reach her full potential and live in a world where she is embraced and included. 💚
