On April 3rd, 2026, the FSU Early Childhood Autism Program (ECAP) will be hosting our 14th Annual Auction for Autism Awareness! All proceeds from this event go toward the ECAP Butchikas Scholarship fund, which provides financial assistance to families affected by autism in Bay County who need help paying for therapy. Because ECAP is a non-profit program for children with autism, we needyour help!!! We have set a fundraising goal this year of $50,000, which could provide hundreds of hours of therapy to families in need, and we are asking you to help us meet this goal!

Any donation that you could give would be greatly appreciated! We are looking for:
Gift certificates
Any item that could go into the auction: toys, gift baskets, clothing, jewelry...anything!
Monetary donations
or any other items that you would be willing to donate!
and come join us at our event! Friday, April 3rd from 5:30-9 pm at FSU Panama City

FSU-ECAP will be making themed baskets out of smaller items donated, so no gift is too small! If you want, you can even put together a basket yourself to donate!

Here are some ideas: Dinner and a Movie Gift Basket, Chef’s Basket, Girl’s Night Out Gift Basket, Dog Lover’s Gift Basket, etc.

We are also happy to pick up donations! If you would like us to do so, please call 850-770-2241 or e-mail Dakota Januchowski (fsuecap@fsu.edu), Nikki Dickens (ndickens@pc.fsu.edu) or Dr. Amy Polick (apolick@pc.fsu.edu).
