"B Inspired" Applauds Student Efforts Behind "Paint the Town Blue"

by Jane Stahl

In this week's "B Inspired" podcast episode that will drop on Friday morning, January 16, 2026, I share a conversation with two students who have put their energies and passions into helping the neurodiverse community.

Boyertown High School students Abby Giannini and Tyler Yuengel have been on a mission since August 2025 to bring greater awareness and support for individuals on the autism spectrum as their senior project.

With the support of Building a Better Boyertown, "Paint the Town Blue" is their current effort. They are asking businesses and individuals to show their support by decorating their homes,  businesses, or community space by adding to their decor with something "blue" from January 21-27, 2026. "Big or small, every effort counts," they offer. 

Encouraging creativity, lifting the spirit of community caring, and inspiring family and friends to work together toward the support of others are the goals of their efforts.  

The couple have organized fundraisers—a bake sale, T shirt sales, a 5K race—over several months and recently donated over $1K to Skippack's So Much to Give Inclusive Café, a nonprofit that employs the neurodiverse.

Abby and Tyler first met in classes preparing them to enter the medical field in some capacity.  They recognized a need to provide assistance to the neurodiverse community while experiencing the challenges of a family member and have made strides in their community to make a real difference.

These young leaders inspire! We look forward to the community's response to their initiative, hard work, and compassionate spirits, and we encourage sharing on social media to increase support and awareness of their efforts. (Donations are welcome.)
