Dogsmile Adventures, a nonprofit providing therapeutic sailing experiences, has gratefully received a significant contribution from Team Autism 24/7. This gift marks a meaningful transition as Team Autism 24/7 concludes its impactful work in the local community.

Since its founding in 2011, Team Autism 24/7 has dedicated itself to supporting Sandpoint’s autism community through diverse programs and services. These efforts have included educational workshops, professional training, community events, summer recreational classes, and annual grants, all aimed at enhancing the lives of individuals with autism and their families.

“This is about so much more than money. This is about one organization passing the torch to another. We’re incredibly honored to carry this legacy forward,” said Jon Totten, Founder and Executive Director of Dogsmile Adventures. “This gift is about much more than financial support; it’s about continuing the spirit of community and connection that Team Autism 24/7 embodied. Last summer, a mother tearfully called our boat ‘magic.’ We’re excited to turn this gift into even more of that magic, bringing therapeutic sailing to those who need it most."

Dogsmile Adventures partners with local organizations to provide therapeutic sailing experiences to under-resourced communities at little or no cost. These opportunities offer healing and meaningful experiences for individuals and families, fostering connection and enhancing overall well-being.
