The RT (Reece Trahan) Autism Awareness Foundation is an organization devoted to making people aware of Autism and the effects it has on children and their families.

The diagnosis of Autism is an emotional one for families, and the RT Autism Awareness Foundation wants people to know that they are not alone. It is the organization's desire and dedication to promote events for Autism Awareness so that present and future children, along with their families who face this battle will have strong support.

Our organization is dedicated to promoting events for Autism Awareness to assure that children and families who face this battle will have the support they need.   We want to make sure no one has to face this battle alone, today or in the future.
