Avon family raises awareness for autism through epic Christmas display

The Salem family is using the display on Century Lane to raise money for Building Blocks Therapy in Avon.

AVON, Ohio — In Avon, there’s a home on Century Lane that lights up the night during the holidays with 25,000 LED bulbs across a half-acre lot.

It’s all thanks to the Salem family.

Every year, they put up their holiday light display, and encourage families to stop by and walk through.

But this year is a bit different.

The light display is inspired by their 3-year-old son, Liam, who was diagnosed with autism earlier this year.

The Salem family is using the display to raise money for Building Blocks Therapy in Avon, which is a program that offers autism early intervention therapy, clinical trials and more.

Guests of their walk-through display will receive a special treat bag at the end of their experience.
