Tomorrow is April 1st and kicks off Autism Awareness Month. Being that I used to work with adults with special needs and developmental/intellectual disabilities I take great pride in participating. Some of the most loving, friendly, kind and special people are those with developmental disabilities and I feel super strong about finding ways to make their lives better and lend a helping hand.
My friend, Carla, works in a school serving children with Autism and I will be walking and supporting her in the Walk Now for Autism Speaks on May 18th (along with some other lovely ladies from CKO). The link is here if you want to donate and help out!! If you'd also like to walk please comment below and join the team...the more the merrier!

ALSO.....Invisible Self Piercing in Lyndhurst, NJ is giving 5% of all sales and piercing to Autism Speaks! http://www.invisibleself.com/ This is the link to the website. They are a new place with a great reputation and supporting a fabulous cause.
Lastly, CKO Lyndhurst has a member who is supporting an individual with Autism by selling bracelets for $2. I already bought mine so if you're stopping in for class pick one up too!
If you know of any other places, business, or people with fundraisers or events for Autism Speaks please feel free to comment on this post!!!!! THANK YOU :)
