HONORED BY GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS AS ‘IMPACT WARRIOR’ & ACCOMPANIES DRAYMOND GREEN AND TEAM TO LAUNCH THEIR NEW WELLNESS SENSORY ROOM
San Francisco basketball team Golden State Warriors kicked off autism awareness month with their ‘autism acceptance night’. Hosted with star player Draymond Green, alongside his former Michigan State teammate, Anthony Ianni who has autism himself.
The evening was dedicated to Autism awareness, where non-profit founder, Deidre Price(founder of Jayce’s Journey Inc.) received an invitation to attend and be honored as the Warriors ’Impact Warrior’ – someone who has gone above and beyond to support their community. Since founding Jayce’s Journey Inc. Deidre has been at the forefront of the ASD community, aiming to build an organization that can offer the necessary tools, resources, and information to support those in need with ASD. Especially for members in low-income communities where resources and information are not easily available.
Deidre and her son Jayce attended the night with ten special guests to kick off this exciting evening, which included the Chase Center launching their official wellness sensory room.
The new wellness sensory room is designed for fans who are neurodivergent or have sensory stimulation disorders. This new initiative will help any fans in the arena who may be overwhelmed by the crowd, lights, and sounds, will now have a safe space to get away, making the chase center more inclusive for those with ASD to attend events, that they would typically steer away from.
