Director Erin Lynch started the Lynchpin Foundation a year ago, and since then the organization has served 168 families and 1,533 students -- all with autism or other social challenges.

And now, the Lynchpin Foundation has received its 501(c)(3) status and an anonymous donor has given $50,000.

We bring kids together with like minded individuals and they have a great opportunity to be with kids they have something in common with and that provides them with a great foundation to work on social skills.

Activities are planned every day during the week to help strengthen social skills.

Anyone who would like to get involved or donate can contact Lynch at lynchpinfoundation.org. The foundation is at 1200 Chesterly Drive, Suite 180, east of 40th Avenue.
