Beavercreek teen to host party for autistic youth
From Natalie Knoth, Staff Writer
Who says teens can’t get involved?
Incoming Beavercreek High School senior Tony Seim is throwing a party for children with autism and their families 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. 6-9:30 p.m. Saturday, June 27, at 1300 Shorthill Drive.
The free event is intended for autistic children grades sixth through 12th, who will each be paired with an adolescent volunteer and will participate in stations of activities including basketball, Frisbee, arts and crafts, and Nintendo Wii, amongst others.
Food will be provided.
Although the social gathering counts as Seim’s final project for Eagle Scouts, he also planned the event for a more personal reason: his younger brother, Nick, has autism.
“I thought it would be a good way to help autistic children in the community make friends and build social skills,” Seim said.
For more information, call (937) 626-1017.
