A customer and forum member of ours reached out for help with fundraising. His mother works with developmentally challenged kids, particularly those with Autism. As the father raising a 4 year old son diagnosed with autism I was absolutely in to help as much as I could. Did you know ... Autism now affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys Autism prevalence figures are growing More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes & cancer combined Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. Autism costs the nation over $35 billion per year, a figure expected to significantly increase in the next decade Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of many less prevalent childhood diseases Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism There is no medical detection or cure for autism The first auction is for our extremely popular Essentials Kit (retail value $199.95) Only one kit is being auctioned off, but 100% of the winning bid will go to the charity.

Families like mine all over the US struggle with this fight every day and it thanks to fundraisers, charities, and the support of people like you that help these very special little ones.
thats awesome. i give this a giant 2 thumbs up. as a father of a beautiful 6 year old autistic girl i know the struggles all too well. kuddos bud!
Thanks for the encouragement gregg... I'm in the same boat. I have a unique and fun little 4 year old boy who was diagnosed at 2. Its definitely a different journey than what you expect your life as a parent to be when you first start out, but its a challenge that I fully accept and have enjoyed.
