2025 Autism Acceptance Day (CANCELLED)
2025-06-07 13:00 - 15:00 | Kiley Park, 66 Sanderson Ave., Lynn, MA, 01902, United States
I’m writing to let you know that, unfortunately, we must cancel our Autism Acceptance and Awareness Day event scheduled for Saturday, June 7th due to the weather forecast predicting rain.

This was our second attempt to hold the event, and I know how much many of you were looking forward to it. We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm.

At this time, Lynn Disability Network does not have the funding to move the event indoors, which limits our options during uncertain weather.

While this is disappointing, our commitment to autism acceptance and inclusion remains strong. These values live beyond any single event — they are part of our daily mission.

Thank you again for standing with us. I look forward to connecting again soon under brighter skies.
