Dear Fans of Cleveland Rocks Autism,Thank you so much for your support for what turned out to be a fabulous night at the House of Blues. As a result of your amazing generosity we exceeded our goal and raised almost $200,000 for research to treat and support families facing autism. Cleveland Rocks Autism was a huge success thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, community, friends, families, professionals in the field and volunteers who pulled together to make our first fundraising event a night to be remembered.

In addition, we want to thank all the Silent Auction donors who helped us tremendously and the six dynamic and diverse bands who provided us with an evening of non-stop entertainment. Austin's Red and na's White, two wines created to support Cure Autism Now/Autism Speaks, are still available at Grand River Cellars by calling 440-298-9838 or www.grandrivercellars.com. A portion of all sales will continue to support autism research.

Now that you are an official Cleveland Rocks Autism Fan we hope you will continue to spread the word as we raise awareness, support and money for Autism. We hope you will join us next year for another sell out crowd! YOU ROCK!

With Gratitude,Shari Goldberg, Lindberg, nne Seaman and the rest of the Cleveland Rocks Autism Committee
