Hello April

Wanted to share this today I think it's pretty awesome!

Help Chevy Help Autism

Chevrolet and Autism Speaks Team Up to Drive Autism Awareness Spread the word: Chevrolet has teamed up with Autism Speaks to drive home the message of autism awareness. During April – Autism Awareness Month – visitors to the Autism Speaks website, can click on the “Help Chevy Help Autism” icon and take a virtual test drive of the 2008 North American Car of the Year – the all-new Chevy Malibu. Chevrolet has committed to a minimum contribution of $500,000, but every virtual test drive taken gets Chevrolet closer to its goal of donating up to $1 million to Autism Speaks to support its mission of increasing awareness of autism and raising money to fund autism research. Those who complete the virtual test drive will receive a free 30-day online trial of XM Satellite Radio.

Also Autism Speaks encourages you to support its corporate partners during April including Toys"R"Us, Chevrolet, TJ Maxx, Modell's Sporting Goods, Barnes & Noble, The Bachman Company, and Build-a-Bear Workshop. Our corporate partners will help increase awareness about autism and greatly enhance the organization's fundraising efforts by hosting nationwide promotions in April.

Our family tradition is going to Build-a-Bear and ToysRUs. The Kiddies love going to BAB below is a picture of Mav and his first Bear "Pieces".Last year while donating at ToysRUs I got all emotional and shared our story with the clerk she was a very nice young lady who listened and told me she was glad to do her part to help in any way with raising Awareness she was proud to wear her Autism button. I thanked her because all it takes is one person to read that button and another person is aware. Awareness is key.

*Challenge* to anyone reading this blog tell someone or a whole lot of people about this blog or share something you know about Autism with them post that you have done so or email me and you will be entered into a prize drawing that I will hold at the end of the month.
