Welcome to the Anthony Fasano Foundation website. As an NFL Player, I've been blessed to have good people surround me from a young age. There have been many people who have helped me on my journey and I've created the Anthony Fasano Foundation as an opportunity to return so much good will that has come my way.

The current statistics show that 1 in 150 children in the United States will be affected by Autism. In my home state of New Jersey 1 in 94 children in has autism and the statistics are even worse for boys where New Jersey's rate is 1 in 60. Children and adults with autism exhibit atypical, repetitive behaviors and deficits in social and communication skills. Autism is usually diagnosed during the first three years of life and is four to five times more prevalent in boys than in girls. It knows no racial, ethnic or social boundaries.

When Autism affects a child, it affects the entire family…mom, dad, brothers, sisters, everyone is affected. I've seen first hand what these families go through and I wanted to help support them anyway I can.
