WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) – According to the CDC, one in 36 children have been identified with autism, leading a local nonprofit to raise awareness through a car and motorcycle race.
The Brayde Giveaway is in its third year. Started by Shay Morath, whose son Brayden is the inspiration. The non-profit organization raises money to provide funds for families for children to undergo behavioral analysis therapy and provides tablets for non-speaking children who need tablets to communicate.
While raising awareness, people were able to enjoy the car show, local vendors, enjoy music and more.
Morath knows the challenges that come with autism and wants to help make the paths easier for other families.
“There aren’t enough people that I feel like I know how to help and I want to help. We just have to put the two of us together, so I think that’s what it’s all about. We’re changing lives and the community is coming together to put on this beautiful event Morath said.
Brayden’s Gift serves the Wichita Falls and Amarillo areas.
