F.A.C.T. Receives Land Donation

Donors have generously gifted a parcel of land, off Birdneck Rd. in Virginia Beach, to F.A.C.T.  Zoning permits are being sought by the board, but we are planning on breaking ground on a regional autism resource center within 3 years!  This facility would serve individuals with autism and their families in numerous ways.

  • A permanent home for Camp Gonnawannagoagin’ and F.A.C.T.’s other existing programs.
  • A resource center for families, wether newly diagnosed or navigating the often overwhelming mazes of special education, therapy options, medical treatments, and adult advocacy.
  • A recreation center for individuals of all ages to socialize, exercise, and explore recreational interests in a supported environment
  • A vocational training and employment facility for teens and adults with autism.

F.A.C.T. is currently pursuing brick and mortar grants as well as in-kind donations of materials, equipment, and services.  Individuals and businesses interested in partnering with F.A.C.T. to achieve our goal should contact us.

F.A.C.T. Purchases City Busses
Transportation has long been an issue for Camp GWGA.  The expense of renting vehicles is exorbitant!  However, we have always felt that taking students with ASD into the community is a crucial component of their social education.  The recent purchase of two city busses will change the dynamic of camp and our other programs.  Each bus seats 42 passengers and will significantly decrease the cost of camp and allow us to serve even more students.  The busses will also serve “Teen Night Out” which has grown to a group of more than 30 participants per month!   

Community Supports F.A.C.T.
Over the past 6 months, our programs have been generously supported by local businesses and charitable organizations.  We would like to gratefully acknowledge the following groups;

  • Amerigroup                          
  • We Promise Foundation/ Chartway Federal Credit Union
  • Miller Oil Foundation- “Hearts of Hope” campaign
  • Tee Off for the Children- Virginia Beach Medical Society Alliance
