WELCOME


The Autism Society of Forsyth County (ASFC) is an all-volunteer group comprised of people who care about the needs of those with autism spectrum disorders, including parents, families, friends and professionals. We are an affiliate of the Autism Society of North Carolina which is a chapter of the Autism Society of America.

ASFC is a non-profit organization. All meetings, programs, support groups and mailings are available to anyone concerned with, or wishing information about autism.

April is Autism Awareness Month!
Members of ASFC participated in Harris Teeter Autism Awareness Days on Saturday, April 25th from 10am - 4pm, outside the Whitaker Square and Harper Hill Commons stores in Winston-Salem. Harris Teeter will be running the event until May 5. During this time, shoppers can purchase a $5 or $1 donation ticket at any local Harris Teeter checkout to help support statewide programs offered by the Autism Society of North Carolina. They have added a new incentive this year to the campaign: if you buy a $5 donation ticket you will receive a coupon for a free DVD rental from Redbox. Please make an effort to support this event by shopping at Harris Teeter 4/22 - 5/5, making a donation & even thanking the cashier & store manager for their support!

SPECIAL EVENTS
Belk Charity Day
It’s that time of year again – Belk Charity Day! Be sure to attend an exclusive sale at the Hanes Mall Belk department store on Saturday, May 2nd & purchase a $5 coupon from ASFC! The sale will be held from 6 am – 10 am and will feature discounts on cosmetics and brands that are rarely discounted. In addition to receiving these discounts, your coupon will entitle you to receive $5 off your first purchase and a raffle ticket for a $1000 Belk Shopping spree!
