This is another sensory-sensitive experience provided to the community by the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island. They’re opening the house but are dimming the lights, softening the music, and providing other accommodations to make this an amazing evening you don’t want to miss.

We’re honored to be selected (along with the OBX SPCA) to share proceeds from the 3rd annual OBX Jeep Invasion! The OBX Jeep Invasion is about bringing together Jeep-minded people for fun, adventure and giving back to our beach community. This year’s invasion includes a Poker Run, Vendor Bingo, Show & Shine, raffles, live bands, vendors, food trucks and lots of fun! Come out to the Sound Side Event Site in Nags Head and hangout for a good cause and a little bit of Jeep fun!

Jack Brown’s in KDH has invited us to join their 5th Anniversary celebration! Local vendors and our silent auction will all be in the same fun space sharing an amazing party!! Check out our support page to learn more about how to donate an item, volunteer to help, or place a bid.

*-Bidding opens at 5:00pm and closes at 8:45pm ET

Families and participants are encouraged to attend the “Meet & Greet” at Jennette’s Pier’s in their upstairs banquet room. You’ll be able to check in and then head upstairs for a very casual dinner and mingle with other families. (“Casual” is casual for the beach = sandals, t-shirts, and boardshorts are welcome.) This time is also a great opportunity for our families to relax and mingle. We’ll end dinner with a short program and video social story about the surfing event.

When the program wraps up, siblings of participants will have the opportunity to go fishing on the pier FOR FREE. This sibling-only experience is one of the unique offerings of Surfing for Autism and offered by the kind folks at the pier.

While the siblings head out to fish, the surfing participants can head down to the beach. This is an opportunity to get accustomed to the surfboard, practice standing on a board, and ask all the surfing questions you can think of. This will be ON LAND. We’ll get in the water on Saturday.

This sensory-sensitive experience is provided to the community by our good friends at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island. Dimmer lights, softer music, and an awesome shark tank make this not-so-scary experience one your family shouldn’t skip.

This is another sensory-sensitive experience is provided to the community by our good friends at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island. The lights are still Christmas colored but they’re dimmer lights. Bing Crosby is still singing White Christmas but it’s a little softer. Yes, the shark tank will still be there and they’ll all be jolly. Did I mention Santa will be there too? This ho-ho-holiday experience is one your family should definitely put on the calendar.
