Coaches Powering Forward for autism

Coaches Powering Forward is an annual initiative bringing the NCAA community together to champion the mission of Autism Speaks. In the past decade, over 7,000 Autism Speaks puzzle piece pins have been distributed to coaches, staff, and broadcasters, fostering inclusivity during awareness games. Led by the inspiring Coach Pat Skerry of the Towson Tigers men’s basketball team and Coach Colleen Mullen of the UAlbany Great Danes women’s basketball team, both coaches share personal experiences of having children on the spectrum, and their unity is fueled by Autism Speaks and the autism community.

Coaches Powering Forward 2025 will take place February 22 - March 1, 2025.
