In honor of Autism Awareness Month, The Graham Academy is hosting its annual “Rock Around the Block” event on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at Public Square in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This family-friendly celebration aims to promote autism acceptance and support within the community.
The day’s festivities will kick off at 11:30 AM with registration for a 5K Walk/Run, accommodating participants of all abilities whether you choose to walk, run, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. The event will feature live music, including performances by local bands and a special rendition of the national anthem by a Graham Academy staff member. Attendees can also look forward to food trucks, vendors, and a debut performance by Arts and Movement, a special needs dance group.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the A Moment of Magic Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting medically vulnerable children through creative and emotional support. Additionally, funds raised from recent student-led initiatives, such as candle and T-shirt sales, have been donated to organizations like Challenger Baseball.
