Temple also visited the Run-Around-Ranch in Gardnerville, a long-time community partner with ACON. They served a beautiful breakfast and gave a tour of their incredible rescue ranch!

ACON gives out 50 weighted blankets to our statewide autism community!

Because of our generous sponsors, the Autism Coalition of Nevada was able to purchase 50 weighted blankets to give away to autism families throughout the state. We had over 130 requests and we regret not being able to meet the entire demand. However, we pledge to give out another 50 blankets in 2024!
