Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 FEAT DAILY NEWSLETTER Sacramento, California http://www.feat.org " Healing Autism: No Finer a Cause on the Planet " ______________________________________________________ April 22, 2001 Search www.feat.org/search/news.asp [From Unlocking Autism.] To everyone, As you know, Unlocking Autism has been working very hard to organize and raise money for this year's Power of ONE! Rally in Washington, DC on April 27th. We believe in the importance of an annual rally on a national basis to raise awareness for autism. When it became evident to us in late October that plans for this year's rally were falling through, Unlocking Autism decided it was too important and there was too much momentum to let it slide. I am very proud of what we have been able to accomplish along with everyone's help! Everyone has really pitched in with wonderful examples of teamwork to see this through! However, we are in our final hours. On April 26th, I will have to write checks and sign them for the remaining money that we owe for equipment and services for the rally and for the Open Your Eyes Project. You have been tremendous in helping us raise money in these last few days. We sent out a plea for help and quickly raised nearly $8,000. However, we still need to raise $12,575 before I can write those checks on Thursday, and we need your help to do it. If Unlocking Autism cannot pay for these things, our board members will be held personally responsible for paying for the balance due. Unlocking Autism has very little overhead costs. Nearly all of the money goes directly back into the projects that we have. Everyone that works for Unlocking Autism is a volunteer and no one receives a salary. We really need your help. We can reach this goal together if only 500 people give $25 OR 250 people give $50 OR 125 people give $100 If for some reason, we do raise more money than the $12,575 that we need to have, the money will go directly into a savings account for the activities for next year. If you haven't already participated in this drive, we hope that you will consider a donation today. This can be done in only a few minutes by visiting our website at www.unlockingautism.org and clicking on the " Donations " button on our left hand menu. Your donation is tax deductible and you will immediately receive a receipt with your online donation with our federal tax id number: 72-1437282. Thank you so much for your time, consideration and support! Together we are ALL UNLOCKING AUTISM! See you in DC! Safe travels to those who are coming! Take care!
