About The Founder
Hi, I am Max. I am a 4-year-starter high school place kicker. I began at Pascack Hills High School, and am currently playing for the Paladins at Paramus Catholic High School in Paramus, NJ.
I am a hard working student athlete who cares about my community, and I am blessed with a supportive and loving family. My incredible, older sister Ava is on the Autistic Spectrum. Ava is 21 years old . I worry about her future. How will Ava and other people on the spectrum live their adult lives? Who will care for them? How will they function in the world we live in? It's easy for most of us to do for ourselves, but individuals with special needs require a lot of assistance and guidance to get through life. My goal is to raise funds to assist these special individuals with the next stage of their lives; to ease the burden. Ava has the support of my family, but those who aren’t as fortunate need our help. I hope to educate those who don’t understand the importance of this need and to raise as much money as possible to help provide for them. I plan on giving as much of my free time as possible to achieve these goals.
Join me, as I Kick for Autism!
