A central Nebraska organization strives to raise awareness about children with autism and the challenges they face, including bullying. Aaron Bly, of Kenesaw, is the founder and president of the Kids and Dreams Foundation.

Bly says the Hastings-based group, Mustaches for Kids, recruits men to grow mustaches over a month’s time to raise money for a children’s charity during that month, and will be making a nice donation to the foundation.


The autism conference will feature six speakers. It’s scheduled for October 2nd in Kearney, focusing on families, parents and professionals. Learn more at kids-and-dreams-dot-org.
