On Thursday, SuperTalk Mississippi will broadcast a live radio show in Oxford outside of the Baptist Outpatient Center.

They are holding this remote broadcast to encourage listeners to stop and donate to a fund to help build the Center Ridge Outpost Camp, an outreach of TEAAM (Together Enhancing Autism Awareness in Mississippi).

The organization’s goal is that the camp will “help fulfi ll the overall mission of TEAAM by providing inclusive adventure-based programs that provide supports for individuals on the autism spectrum, their friends and their families,” according to the TEAAM’s Adventure-Based Programs website.

Construction of the camp began in March of this year; however, the multi-purpose pavilion is the only structure currently on the site apart from the temporary offices.

Dr. Mark Yeager, executive director of TEAAM, said that the organization would like to raise $300,000 to fi nish phase one of construction.

He predicted that phase one would be completed in late fall, after which the organization will be able to serve around 600 children every summer.

Yeager said he is hopeful that the Center Ridge Outpost Camp will be of great benefit during the school season through a number of weekend activities, which will be offered multiple times per month.

He said that TEAAM will affect families of autistic children through the whole state of Mississippi with this new resource

Thursday’s event will include Paul Gallo’s morning show from 6-9 a.m., the JT Show from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., and On Deadline with Sid Salter from 3-6 p.m.

If nothing else, SuperTalk desires to raise awareness for TEAAM’s efforts, said Rick Mize, general manager of SuperTalk Oxford, WTMN 105.5.

“We are pleased to be a part of this event and to help make the CROC a reality,” Mize said.
