The CAN Film Festival is a fund raiser for Champion Autism Network that exhibits films by or about people with autism. This event is designed to educate people about autism, it’s impact on the family unit and the lifelong challenges that autism presents. The films are compelling, entertaining and engaging.
Everyone knows that autism exists, but understanding the effects of autism--on the families and those with autism--is paramount. Educating the public is one of the primary missions of the Champion Autism Network. We hope you would take this opportunity to learn more about autism and support our families and organization.
