Story by Caroline Catherman, Orlando Sentinel, reprinted December 12, 2023
MSN.com covered the fantastic piece by Caroline Catherman, health reporter at the Orlando Sentinel, about Events With Jonathan™ in partnership with the Orlando Magic.
Founder and father to a son with autism, Jason Eichenholz is an Orlando dad and tech entrepreneur who created Events With Jonathan™ to provide inclusive experiences for individuals with autism. Inspired by his son Jonathan’s challenges at crowded events, Jason realized the positive impact of a corporate suite during a basketball game, which allowed his family to stay through the entire game. After a pilot season, Eichenholz partnered with the Orlando Magic and local businesses to offer suites for free to nonprofit organizations serving people with disabilities.
The program hosted 150 participants at 10 events in the 2022-2023 season, and is aiming for 25 games during the 2023-2024 season at the Kia Center in downtown Orlando.
