Volunteers Piece Together Autism with a 60,000 Sqaure Foot Puzzle

Families of Autistic Children of Tidewater, a local Autism group in Virginia Beach, VA is assembling a huge puzzle in the spirit of Autism Awareness. The puzzle is 60,000 square feet and is composed of 28,000 individual pieces. Each puzzle piece contains a fact about Autism. Volunteers were invited to assist with assembly. Volunteers worked with one another to work on specific segments of the puzzle together to ensure that the puzzle was completed as efficiently as possible. After assembly, the pieces will be sold for $5 each in an effort to raise money for the charity organization. The group is hoping to raise enough money to begin construction on a new resource center and clubhouse for their summer day camp.
