Puzzlethon is a unique fundraiser created by ASCONN to benefit the local community by providing financial support for programs and services.  All funds raised for Puzzlethon stay right here in Connecticut to help families and individuals living with autism. 

For more information about Puzzlethon go to our ASCONN website

Puzzlethon is like a fundraising walk event, but with puzzles as the activity. Enlist your supporters and raise funds through our easy online fundraising site.  Then gather your friends and family to join us on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at the Puzzlethon event!  Puzzlethon is designed to combine fundraising with an opportunity for everyone, including individuals with autism, to participate in a social activity that everyone enjoys. 

Puzzles were chosen, not only because of their universal appeal across age and ability ranges, but also because many persons with autism are particularly skilled at puzzles.  Any type of puzzle qualifies: jigsaw, crossword, sudoku, word search, so anyone from toddler to senior citizen can participate.

For decades, the puzzle piece has been the symbol of the autism community, reflecting the complexity of the disability as well as the difficulty in piecing together interventions that are as unique as each individual.
