Special Citizens a New York City nonprofit organization that has been supporting adults and children with Autism for over forty years, will host two guests in the film industry Berto Colon and Victor Cruz at our Bronx location. This visit will take place on Wednesday, December 9, 2015 at Noon.
We are honored to have Berto Colon and Victor Cruz visit our programs in the Bronx. It is the support of actors like these fine men that help us to promote the important work we are doing on a daily basis to assist adults and children with Autism. We are grateful for their support.
Jessica Zufall, Chief Executive Officer

“Personally it is important to give back in any way I can. Life has so many challenges for us so I can only imagine the challenges when families are faced with Autism,” said Colon.
