Great Wolf Lodge Supports Autism Awareness Month | Join the Pack!

Blog· DISabilities· MOVE· Travel

In April, Great Wolf Lodge is howling for good. This popular resort destination, with 17 properties across America and Canada, is showing their full-pack support of those living with an autism spectrum disorder. (Two more resorts are set to open by 2020!) The chain of indoor water parks has recently been named one of the “Top 22 Best Family Vacations” by O the Oprah Magazine. And they are proving why. Their commitment to all families is most evident during Autism Awareness Month.

If you are a reader of this blog, you know the impact that autism has had on my own “pups.” Perhaps you understand why I am so committed to the organization Autism Speaks, and am an Autism Speaks Volunteer Advocacy Ambassador. Has this spectrum disorder touched your wolf pack? If so, we have found two brilliant and easy ways to turn April blue. YOU can directly impact services and quality of life issues for the autism community.

Great Wolf Lodge Supports Autism Awareness Month

Great Wolf Lodge’s Blue Wolf Ears Campaign for Autism Awareness Month

Throughout April, the resort will offer a blue version of the brand’s signature wolf ears to guests for a minimum $5 donation to Autism Speaks. A limited edition collection of 10,000 blue wolf ears will be available for purchase at all of the company’s U.S.-based resorts.

All proceeds from the Blue Wolf Ears campaign go directly to Autism Speaks. The goal is to raise $50,000 to support the mission of enhancing lives across the spectrum at every stage of life. Last year, the non-profit aided more than 1 million people through their efforts. **Eighty-five cents of every Autism Speaks dollar funds acceptance initiatives, groundbreaking autism research, expands early childhood screening and interventions, and provides resources to adulthood transitions programs.

Wear Blue!

#GreatWolfCares

Be advised, this is just the kick-off of an anticipated long-termed partnership! Autism Speaks will guide Great Wolf Lodge in their approach and offerings for families living with autism. You can get behind this effort without leaving your home! Simply tweet, post, or share the hashtag #GreatWolfCares with a message about autism. In turn, Great Wolf Lodge will make a $5 donation to Autism Speaks (up to $20,000). Together, we can earn every penny of this.

Share Blue!

    I’m so happy to see GWL doing this. Do you know if there is a way to donate and get autism ears without being at a location? We won’t be there until May(near the end) and both of our children are autistic. They would love special ears that represent them to wear around the resort. I’d rather the money go to the cause than to someone’s pocket on ebay.

Looking for must-do family projects during the hol Looking for must-do family projects during the holidays? @ColonialWmsburg is an outdoor venue full of evolving history and detail. 

Visit their newest archeological dig- uncovering the site of one of the oldest Black churches in America. Here free and enslaved Christians came to worship during Revolutionary times at the First Baptist Church. 

A step back into Christmastide- 18th Century style- might be particularly appropriate this year. #ColonialWilliamsburg #Virginia #Christmastide #Americanhistory

My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that ti My last NY to FL road trip was in 1975. At that time, between Philadelphia and this destination there were miles and miles of billboards along I-95 (believe it or not, there are far fewer today- in the 70s, they numbered 250!!). Naturally, we were COMPELLED to stop here. Early social media at its best...

South of the Border was originally built on the North Carolina/South Carolina border in 1949 as a Beer Depot (NC was at that time a dry state). They capitalized on their location once again in 1962, when they started selling their now- “famous” fireworks (also then illegal in NC). Which is why this memory is such a standout for my family.

My brother NEEDED a stash of fireworks. Just what a kid from Queens craves? In the middle of August, and though we were not yet close to our destination, my parents caved. Those fireworks sat in the trunk of the family Impala (no air conditioning, mind you), and we proceeded to drive to Walt Disney World. Where the car sat, in the parking lot, on the blacktop, in near 100 degree temps, for over a week. How we didn’t cause a massive explosion at Disney’s Polynesian Village is a miracle that can’t be explained. Pixie Dust, perhaps?

Here’s to nostalgia folks. #I95 #SouthoftheBorder #fireworks #familymemories #itwasmybrother

My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy car My favorite part of owning the Marriott Bonvoy card? That annual free night. We strategically saved it for the @RitzCarltonAmeliaIsland. Located just 30 miles from Jacksonville, this barrier island was well worth the detour. And the Ritz? This property lives up to the name.

Though we just this once broke our “no elevators “ rule (we held our masked breath 😆) the Ritz-Carlton brand is one I trust for safety. #businesstravel #RitzCarlton #MarriottBonvoy #MarriottCleanlinessCouncil

In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check In the 1970s, my family was one of the final check-ins at this landmark resort built by Standard Oil’s Henry Flagler. Though the Hotel Ponce de León had long lost its luster, the memory is still a nostalgic gem to us. 

Thankfully, the structure (and its Tiffany-stained glass windows) survived as @FlaglerCollege. Unfortunately, tours have been suspended due to COVID-19. I won’t wait another 50 years to return. 😉 #USNationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #HistoricStAugustine #Florida

I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @St I haven’t stepped foot inside a church since @StLouisCathedral on Ash Wednesday, but I masked up to say a quick prayer inside this oratory.

Built as the centerpiece of Ave Maria University and planned community,  this Gothic steel and stone structure was designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s students. Minimalist with the exception of the exquisite 30-foot sculpture depicting the Annunciation on its facade.
