At Beechmont Ford, we understand that we are only as strong as our communities, that’s why it has always been one of our core values to support where we live, work, and come from, as much as possible. This is why we created the KindnessProject, where we team up with local friends, customers, employees, and organizations in an effort to give back to our community.

As we continue the KindnessProject, we are proud to be a major sponsor for the EmPath For Autism foundation, for the second year in a row! This year is building off of their amazing event from last year, “Circus Bizurcus” by taking it to new heights; Circus Bizircus Lunar, a Party Beyond!

The EmPath autism foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was created as a resource to help families in the Greater Cincinnati area impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Earlier this year, we teamed up with ABC Pediatric Therapy for a Sensory Toy Drive. All three locations of the Mark Williams Auto Group saw massive success, the turn out was measured in car loads, and we filled up several with sensory toys to help children on the Autism Spectrum all throughout the greater Cincinnati and surrounding area. 

ABC Pediatric also produce educational content on a wide range of Autism-related topics. One of our favorite blog posts was an entry titled, “diagnosis and early intervention in Autism.” Check out their full blog here.

Last year, EmPath’s fundraiser was hugely successful, raising $67,000 for The Kelly O’Leary Center for Autism at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. The funds that were donated are going directly to an initiative called Project Echo. This project is designed to take treatment and diagnosis of autism to rural communities surrounding Cincinnati. Many of the rural communities around Cincinnati are underserved, and it can be very difficult for families to get time off from work and regular life to bring their children in for treatment. Project Echo aims to bring care to these families, so that their children can learn to live and thrive with their Autism Spectrum Disorder. Children who can have the resources to treat their ASD often find it can become their superpower, and it vastly improves the day to day life of many families. 


This year, Circus Bizircus Lunar aims to take that contribution to a new level, and we are going to do our best to spread the word to help make that happen! Circus Bizircus Lunar will be an incredible party at the Madison Theater on September 21, 2024. If you would like to buy tickets or learn more, CLICK HERE.
