Yesterday we got our puzzle on at the The Autism Society of Minnesota Annual Puzzle Contest at Mall of America! 🧩💙

It was a whole lot of fun for a really important cause—and the best part? This wasn’t just a fundraiser. It brought autism awareness right into the middle of the mall, where thousands of people could see, learn, and hopefully leave a little more aware than when they walked in.

Raise money. Raise awareness. Build community. Share the work we do Pettinelli Financial Partners.
Not a bad day at the mall. 😉🧩

🧩 Government benefits can be hard to absorb if you only hear about them once.

Like learning a new language, families are often thrown into a whole new world of acronyms, rules, laws, and terminology.

📚 Acronyms like SSDI, SSI, HCBS, DAC, and CDB

📝 Terminology like "self-settled," "third-party," "supplemental," and "pooled" in special needs trust planning

⚖️ Rules about what counts as income and concepts like "in-kind support and maintenance"

It's enough to make anyone's head spin 🤯 while trying to gather the knowledge needed to create an informed and meaningful plan for their loved one's future.

That's why we love partnering with organizations like the National Council on Severe Autism to support community education. 💙 Knowledge is power, and the more tools families have, the more confident they can be in planning for the future.

🗓️ Join us on Thursday, September 24th, and add valuable tools to your toolbox of support. Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your understanding, we'd love to have you there.

👉 Register today and take the next step toward building a stronger, more informed future for your loved one.

We were honored to sponsor the Annual Doug Trangsrud Memorial Golf Tournament, helping support MAC’s amazing services and the families who rely on them. ⛳️💙

But honestly, the best part of the day wasn’t the golf—it was spending time with the people who make MAC so special, like Jen Diederich, MA, BCaBA, Sarah Monahan, Brittany Thompson, Christine Bent and the many other dedicated, heartfelt staff who show up with heart, compassion, and a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive world.

Here’s to 30 years of making a difference—and to many, many more! 🥂

Happy 30th, MAC Midwest! We’re so grateful to be part of the journey. 💙
