RAFFLE - 8 GB iPod Nano

1 ticket = $5.00
5 tickets = $20.00

On November 2, 2008, our family will be participating in the Arizona Walk Now for Autism event. Proceeds from the Walk will help fund national research initiatives and local programs and services provided at the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center's (SARRC) Campus for Exceptional Children.

Autism is now the most prevalent childhood developmental disorder in the United States, affecting 1 in every 150 children born today. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined. In Arizona, every 72 minutes a child is diagnosed with autism. There is no known cause and no cure.

My two boys, Lovey and Mister (17 and 4 respectively) have both been diagnosed with a spectrum disorder. They are both very good boys, with big hearts, however, their disorders make it difficult for them to learn and make friends. This year we will all walk on November 2nd not only for our kids but for all the children on the spectrum. Please help us make our goal of $5,000 by donating generously before the Walk or by participating in my iPod Raffle.

Please make checks payable to Autism Speaks. All donations are tax deductible.

I also have a PayPal account, so if you'd like to purchase that way, just let me know how many tickets you'd like and I will issue an invoice.

Love to all,
Gina
