A Community Collaboration

In the fall of 2021, when longtime Maplewood resident Sandy LoPiccolo first discovered ACEing Autism through family friends, she had no idea of the impact it would have on her family’s life and the lives of so many others.

ACEing Autism is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to help children with autism grow, develop and benefit from social connections and fitness through affordable tennis programming. The organization serves 5,000 children at more than 200 locations nationwide. Trained program directors and volunteers lead participants ages 5-21 through their curriculum in sessions of 6 to 8 weeks.
