The A Voice For Mikey Autism Foundation, was founded by parents Michael Intoccia and Marilyn Zambrzycki in honor of their autistic son, Mikey. Mikey, who is now 7 years old, was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.

Since his diagnosis, Mikey and his family have been blessed to have access to all of the avenues available to assist in his developmental growth. They continually meet parents who struggle to afford the therapies, treatments, and opportunities that crucially benefit children like Mikey. To address this tremendous need of support, The A Voice For Mikey Autism Foundation has proudly partnered with the San Gennaro North End Feast to raise funds to provide vital therapies, education and physical care tools to families in need.
