Dance A Thon

SAVE THE DATE!!

May 29 2009

Levittown Hall

6:30pm-9:30pm

The Elija Foundation Shakin' It For Autism Dance A Thon , is a three-hour fun

filled evening dance marathon! It is a celebration in honor of the siblings and

other community youth who living, playing or touched by individuals with autism.

The brother's, sister's and friends of those with autism, play such a critical

role in the lives of those affected by this lifelong disorder. This event is in

effort to support the social and emotional needs of the siblings and to support

the efforts of other community youth , while providing them with a fund filled

night of music, dancing and excitement, while they help raise money for Elija's

Autism " Family Support " Fund.

With autism at an alarming 1 in 150, and the profound impact autism has on a

family unit, your support in this event will help The Elija Foundation continue

to provide free parent trainings, advocacy, support and family friendly

recreational events. This will no doubt relieve some of the family issues that

are prevalent, and give access to children with autism and their families to

these much needed services. Our goal is for all individuals with autism and

their family members, to have equal opportunity to receive services that can

improve their quality of life.
