Looking to continue to support local community groups, First State Skate Supply has started selling Autism Delaware-themed raffle tickets, T-shirt and stickers.
Shop co-owner Joe Moore said the business helped a local branch Boys & Girls Club last year. This year, he continued, they decided to do something a little different, but still help a local organization.
James West, First State Skate Supply co-owner, said he was inspired to help Autism Delaware because his aunt is a special education teacher in Maryland.
Brett Gershman, employment support professional for Autism Delaware’s POW&R program, said he was happy the First State Skate team was lending a hand for an important cause. The hope is to be able to have a spin-off program, he said.
