The Joey Andrade Memorial Foundation In Honor of… Joey (Joseph) Andrade

As a 501(c)3 organization, The Joey Andrade Foundation was established to provide scholarships to summer programs, bring art to the special needs community, provide sensory items to classrooms and first responders, promote Autism Awareness, and provide random acts of kindness. Joey was on the Autism Spectrum. Although he was non-verbal, Joey was a persuasive communicator, teaching the world to listen and appreciate in many ways. Joey's smile and his sweet disposition while he enjoyed the simple things life offered, especially his love for Elmo, red balls, and long rides. Joey's Big Red Ball will bounce along bringing a simple "Joey Smile" to a random stranger with an act of kindness, sending an autistic child to summer camp, or educating the community and those that serve it. "The only disability is a bad attitude", if you are reading this, you are a recipient of Joey's Legacy--- Pay it Forward!!! Venmo Account: @Jeanne-Mutokyle
