About Project Beacon

Dear Supporters,

On behalf of the Project Beacon Board and extended team, we're thrilled to invite you to our 4th annual

fall fundraiser: Nashville Nights – Beacon in The Big Barn. Join us on Friday, October 24th at Dosey Doe

from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. We can't wait to see you there!


"WHY PROJECT BEACON, AND WHY NOW?"


At Project Beacon, our mission is to build a community of belonging where adults with autism and

Other neurodiversity can thrive. We provide integrated, high-quality, and sustainable solutions that

support the educational, vocational, social, and residential needs of the neurodiverse community.

With autism rates now at 1 in 31 children—up from 1 in 250 just two decades ago—it’s clear the neurodiverse

population is growing rapidly. Many of those children are now adults, but the services available

to them have not kept pace, particularly for individuals requiring moderate to high levels of support.

Too often, available options are fragmented, short-term, or designed with a one-size-fits-all mindset.


That’s why we created the Beacon Access Center, which officially opened its doors in Oak Ridge North

on May 5, 2025. The Center offers a full-time, innovative adult day program that provides tailored

learning, life skills, and vocational development for neurodivergent adults. This critical milestone marks

a major step in our journey to create transformational, long-term support systems.


Our holistic approach combines specialized programming with a caring culture and strong community

connections, ensuring that individuals not only maintain but expand skills critical to living meaningful,

engaged lives. The Access Center builds on the success of our monthly social enrichment events,

which have quadrupled in participation in just one year.


This year, we are also laying the foundation for Beacon Works, our new vocational readiness and

employment initiative. Supporting Project Beacon means supporting the strength of a start-up

program—one rooted in community, innovation, and the belief that every adult deserves access to

opportunity. Your partnership helps us grow to meet both the ongoing needs and the long-term vision

of a thriving, inclusive future.


We’ve made remarkable progress, but we need your continued partnership. Your support helps us

sustain and expand programs that open new possibilities for the neurodiverse community.

Together, we can light the path forward—creating lives full of dignity, purpose, and belonging.


Warmly,

The Project Beacon Team
