Co-founder Statement

            As co-founders of the Daniel-Chase Foundation, we, David Zapata and Brendan Yablon, are deeply committed to our mission of helping children with autism discover the wonders of STEM. Named in honor of our little brothers, both of whom are on the autism spectrum, the Daniel-Chase Foundation is a labor of love and a testament to our dedication to making a meaningful impact. We believe that every child, regardless of their challenges, deserves the opportunity to explore and excel in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through our programs, we aim to provide a supportive and enriching environment where these children can thrive and realize their full potential.
