Forever Young Within the Community

Ron Zemp, the owner of Forever Young & Club Tan, and his wife Jennifer have first hand knowledge of Autism and its effects. Their son, Casey, was diagnosed with ASD at age 3.  Since that time, their goal has always been to strive to do whatever it takes to help their boy succeed. There have had many struggles along the way; they were told Casey might not ever talk and that he would probably not want to be around people, preferring instead to “live in his own world.”

Notwithstanding this, Casey is living proof that if ASD children get the proper guidance, education and encouragement, they can overcome many obstacles.  Despite his difficulties, Casey is in taekwondo and piano classes, he has a huge vocabulary, loves to be around people, and has a huge heart.

As the proprietor of Club Tan and Forever Young Laser Medical Spas, Ron and his family fully support the efforts of the Northwest Autism Foundation, and are pleased to have raised $4,700 for the cause.
