April is Autism Month and we want to recognize the need for research and assistance to the many children and adults who struggle with autism meeting their life needs. This is our 2nd Quarter Community Benefit Fundraiser and hope you can help support the mission of Autism Speaks - enhancing lives today and accelerating a spectrum of solutions for tomorrow.

Help create a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential. Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. This is done through advocacy and support; increasing understanding and acceptance of people with autism; and advancing research into causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 44 children in the United States today. We appreciate your donations and helping children and families struggling with autism.
