In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, The McBride Center was transformed into a park as families and their children celebrated “A Day for Kids.”
Looking to spread education and acceptance in regard to children with autism and any special needs, Jessica Johnson and NorthBay Healthcare provided a fun-filled event as they raised money for the cause.
When Johnson first heard that a young dancer and her mother were sent home from a dance studio due to her daughter’s autism, the former Miss California Global Nations (2014) sought to make a difference and used her platform to do so.
