14th annual Youth Hockey Fights for Kids with Autism

The 14th Annual Youth Hockey Fights for Kids with Autism was held on Saturday, January 24, 2026, from noon to 9 pm at the Wings Event Center (3600 Vanrick Dr., Kalamazoo, MI 49001). This event raised funds for GLC’s autism treatment programs and supports families with out-of-pocket expenses, including insurance copays, coinsurance, transportation costs, and essential program supplies that help youth reach their goals. This year, we raised $24,000!
