In the spirit of our Great Western Heritage, and by empowering the community and its volunteers to give of their time, skills, and talents, Roundup for Autism will raise money for the Autism Treatment Centers of Texas’ daily operations and expansion of services bringing happiness and fulfillment by improving the quality of life for people with autism.
