Our Mission: JACK’S PLACE for Autism Foundation is dedicated to providing support, education, compassion, and a comprehensive array of services to help families cope with the “day to day” challenges of autism. It is our mission to improve the quality of life for individuals impacted by autism spectrum disorder. In September 2002, co-founders Jim and Lisa Price, in the name of their then seven-year-old autistic son Jackson, established JACK’S PLACE. Jim Price is a former Tigers catcher, with the 1968 World Series Champions, and the voice of the Detroit Tigers. The Prices, backed by a powerful group of sports and community leaders, are directing community efforts to address the growing needs of autism. The group has already received support from the Detroit Tigers organization, the Red Wings, Lions, Pistons, the Shock, The Private Bank, UAW and General Motors, Ford, Daimler Chrysler, Local 4 WDIV/Detroit, Henry Ford Health Systems, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Quicken Loans and numerous other Metro Detroit groups. JACK’S PLACE is a Metro Detroit non-profit foundation with the goal to help families with loved ones who are impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
