Heidi Wohlmuth is a longtime S.M.I.L.E. participant whose friends and family realized the positive impact that the program had on Heidi’s life and wanted to give back to it. Together with Launchers Athletics, a local track and field throwing club that is coached by Heidi’s father Steve, Team Heidi organized numerous fundraisers, which included a bake sale, ‘Throw for Autism’ event, fun fair and silent auction, from which all of the proceeds went toward funding the construction of the Snoezelen Room. Thank you to Team Heidi, Launchers Athletics and the Wohlmuth family for the generous donation! PAGE 1
