The Autism Society of Mahoning Valley is pleased to announce the availability of the 12th Annual Mike Hull Memorial Family Holiday Mini-Grant. These grants support children and adults with an autism diagnosis. The grant cycle runs through Nov. 5.

This project focuses on reaching out and serving individuals who need items to help with sensory, educational, fitness, and social needs.

To qualify, the family must be residents of Mahoning, Trumbull or Columbiana counties.

These grants are funding opportunities that are offered only once a year and are time limited.

The online application is available at the ASMV website: autismmv.org/event/holiday-mini-grants-2025

The Family Mini-Grant is funded by proceeds from the annual Mike Hull Memorial Poker Run for Autism held every summer. Motorcyclists ride in honor of Mike Hull, a beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather with a cherished granddaughter on the autism spectrum.

The all-day event features a poker ride that visits establishments in the region, kicking off with a Breakfast & Bike Blessing and concluding with a basket raffle and live concert.
