## Story

“We are honored to be partnering with Project Jade for this initiative during Autism Awareness Month,” said Burke Cueny, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Alliance Franchise Brands, the parent company of Image360 and Signs Now. “When we were first introduced to the Project Jade team and their mission to support autistic people, parents, autism professionals and caregivers, we immediately felt drawn to help. Our teams at Image360 and Signs Now could not be more thrilled to help create, produce and install the communication boards in communities across the nation and make a positive impact on the lives of others.”

Project Jade was created by Neily Collick, Jennifer Bleckiner and Sarah Foster. Collick was inspired to create a communication board for her own daughter, Jade, who has autism. The non-profit organization has since created several types of communication boards for various organizations in their home state of Michigan, and has recently been working to expand its presence to schools, parks and libraries across the North America.

“Our mission has always been to assist children with a variety of special needs to communicate with others,” said Sarah Foster, CEO of Project Jade. “We are ecstatic to be partnering with Image360 and Signs Now to maximize our impact and be able to provide communication boards across the country.”

Image360 and Signs Now businesses are independently owned and operated, and are part of the Alliance Franchise Brands Network. From the simplest signage projects to the most complex, their team trained graphic specialists works closely with clients to maximize the creativity and visual impact of environmental graphics and visual communications for local and regional businesses and organizations.
