All donations go directly to the Institute of Autism Research (IAR) at Canisius College to reduce tuition for IAR programs and for research and development of interventions for autistic children and their families. The IAR’s goal is to ensure that a family’s inability to pay will never be a reason their child cannot participate in our programs!

HAIL! Fredonia Records is a student-run record label at SUNY Fredonia under the advisement of platinum selling record producer and manager, Armand Petri.
