Good for Business - Episode 18 - Autism Awareness with the Rowdy Foundation
In this special episode, Scott and Whitney Ferguson, co-founders of the Rowdy Foundation, discuss their organization's mission to support families with autism in North Mississippi. They started the foundation after their son Myers' 2017 diagnosis, aiming to provide resources and events for the community. Their first event was a drive-by, mobile bunny photo fundraiser during COVID in 2020. They organize inclusive activities like the Rowdy Races obstacle course and sensory-friendly movie screenings. The foundation also supports communication boards and sensory-friendly events. They emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and community support, highlighting the need for more resources and awareness. They are organizing three upcoming events: The Rowdy Races, an all-inclusive obstacle course on September 20th; The Rowdy's Round-up Tower Shootout on September 25th; and Little Hands, Big Trucks on October 5th.
