Todd Bender

Welcome to the #LeapForAutism campaign, an entirely different way to raise funds and awareness for #AutismAwarenessMonth! Please help me raise funds for life-enriching opportunities for more than 500 children, adults and families with Autism and other developmental disabilities who receive supports from Greystone Programs, Inc., a nonprofit agency that provides services in five Hudson Valley, NY counties. As part of this campaign, I ask that you pledge or donate to my cause so that, together, we can raise awareness about this disorder that now affects 1 in 68 American children, across all genders, races, and economic backgrounds. On Saturday, April 22, Greystone Programs is organizing DOZENS of adventurous people to skydive from airplanes. I will be one of them! Thank you for your generous support!

We offer a variety of services to over 500 children, adults and seniors each year. Funding is through the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. However, Greystone offers vital services for which there is no funding. These include a range of therapeutic expressive arts – including music, art, dance, equine therapies and other services. 

We are so dedicated to enriching the lives of our individuals that we are willing to leap from a plane to raise awareness and funds!



“My brother has been the fortunate recipient of the collective efforts of a cadre of angels and saints, cleverly disguised as human beings. They are all devoted to seeing that he is living his highest and best life.” – Sister of Greystone resident

This is where we need your help!
