Boosh Cruise for Autism 2009: Let's go on a cruise, but make it for autism! It just doesn't sound right, but this is the second year for the benefit and it has met with great success allowing the younger, "clubber" generation to party on a boat for a good cause. Created by Jade and Charissa Cardwell whose son is diagnosed with autism, the Boosh Cruise for Autism has provided a great opportunity to educate young people about this condition whilst helping families affected by this disorder gain knowledge about what is available to them.
This benefit is not the sophistocated, grown up, cheese and wine tasting event you'd expect. Rather, it's a Derailer and glow-stick club atmosphere and put on by two DJs who decided to use their immense talent for this social cause. It's full of all different types of people with the common goal to have fun and enjoy headlining DJs MC Squared (Jade Cardwell) and DJ Fusion along with other known Spokane DJs. Proceeds from the cruise, raffle ticket sales, and even glow sticks all go toward Autism Society of Washington, Spokane chapter.
This is my second time attending, and I walked away with so many resources and the feeling of support for my own experience parenting a high-functioning autistic child. My thanks to the Cardwells and Spokane After Dark for putting on the second annual Boosh Cruise for Autism!
