About
The 15th Annual Concert for Autism is coming this fall!
We are excited about this year’s upcoming events as the Coachella Valley’s music community comes together for the 15th year in a row to help raise funds for the Desert Autism Foundation. The 2022 Concert for Autism will take place on Saturday, October 22 at the Tack Room Tavern in Indio, CA. As in years past, we are planning a few warmup shows that will lead into the main concert, which will feature music, activities for children, silent auctions, raffles and a sensory tent provided by Desert Occupational Therapy for Kids. Check back here for more information as the details become available.

About the Concert for Autism
The Concert for Autism is put on by a group of Coachella Valley musicians who have personal connections to Autism as fathers, mothers, family members and friends. Though the concert is not directly affiliated with the Desert Autism Foundation, we have found this charity to offer valuable assistance for those families that deal with Autism on a daily basis. We donate the funds raised from the concert to this organization. Your donation to this charity is tax deductible.
Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. The Centers for Disease Control now estimates that Autism occurs in 1 out of every 44 children.
